Lot Essay

It is interesting to note that the crest without the coronet round the lion's neck is of Nicholson a Scottish Baronet. Another branch of the same family does have the ducal coronet around the neck, however they are not Baronets. This combination of crest and badge is most probably for Nicholson of Glenbervie, Baronets.
