Excerpt from Note on the Proclamation for Disarming of the Highlands in 1746

According to the statement made in the document under notice, it appears that by Royal sign-manual, dated Kensington, 16th October 17 47, he was empowered to issue letters of summons in the King's name directing when and where the arms were to be given up, and how defaulters were to be dealt with. These letters of summons were to be addressed to justices of the peace in various parts of Scotland and the justices were commanded to affix copies of the letters to the parish church doors in the different quarters particularised by Lieutenant General Bland. The document now to be described specially referred to that portion of the Hebrides included within the shire of Inverness -a very hotbed of disaffection - and is dated Edinburgh, 25th April 1748, and signed Hum Bland, and sealed in red wax with Bland's seal. The armorial bearings are the same as now borne by Bland of Kippax Park, - Arg., on a bend sa., three pheons of the field: Crest, Out of a ducal coronet or, a lion's head ppr. The engraved lines showing the heraldic colours are not distinguishable in the wax impression; but there are no marks of cadency, as in the arms now borne by Bland of blands-fort.
