Pictured here is
the coat of arms of the Chief, James C. A. Burnett of Leys. As with a crest, there is no
such thing as a "family" coat of arms. Only one person may use a
coat of arms at a time, so not even the Chief’s son may use the exact same coat of
arms while his father is alive. That said, it is important to add that anyone may display a coat of arms so long as it is clear that there is no improper claim to ownership. |
