Among the pomp and pageantry of the Coronation on 6 May were two Writers to the Signet, both Officers of Arms in the Royal Household, namely, Marchmont Herald The Hon Adam Bruce WS, and Ormond Pursuivant John Stirling WS. Both Officers of Arms featured in the procession and ceremonials in Westminster Abbey. The Marchmont Herald is named after the royal castle more commonly known as Roxburgh Castle, now a ruin. The earliest reference to the Marchmont Herald is 1478. Ormond Pursuivant is believed to have been created in 1488, when James III created his second son Marquess of Ormond. When not attending royal ceremonials, Adam holds a senior management position in a global energy company, and John Stirling is a partner of Gillespie Macandrew.
