The design takes elements from various portions of the armiger’s background. The colours in the designs hark back to the various Boyd family Arms in Scotland, particularly Kilmarnock. The greyhounds reflect the armiger’s patron saint, Dominic de Guzmán, and the Hounds of God. The three Crosses Pattee represent his vows made at baptism, ordained as a presbyter and Benedictine oblate, and when he was conferred the dignity of Chevalier by the Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani (Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem), an ecumenical confraternity under the Royal Patron, Her Highness Princess Elisabeth of Ysenburg and Büdingen, Princess of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. The Geneva bonnet with two black tassels in lieu of a helm and crest is a traditional ecclesiastical heraldry for Presbyterian ministers.
