For those who are interested in the heraldry, or Coats of Arms, associated with the Christie, Christy & Chrystie surname , they are now displayed online at:

www.heraldry-online.org.uk

The Arms are those that are officially recorded in Scotland at the Lyon Court (1672-1973). It must be noted that the Arms displayed are the property solely of those named or their descendants. They cannot be used by anyone else, even if they do share the same surname.

It is worth mentioning that the some families were not very good at registering their Arms as required by Scottish law. Therefore, there may be other Arms in use of some antiquity, however, they are not technically legal in Scotland until recorded, or matriculated, with the Court of Lord Lyon.

In addition to the Arms officially recorded in Scotland, there are Arms belonging to other named individuals listed in other reliable, but unofficial, publications.
