The Lord Lyon King of Arms and The Honours of Scotland

The American Scottish Foundation presents Dr. Joseph Morrow, the Lord Lyon, who will discuss the background and history of The Honours of Scotland – the Scottish Crown Jewels – which were worn by Scottish monarchs at their coronation at The Union Club, 101 E 69th St. The Honours have been used at state occasions including the visit of George IV in 1822, Elizabeth II’s first visit to Scotland as monarch in 1953, and a national service of thanksgiving for Charles III following his coronation in 2023.
