Specialist note

The crest of a cornucopia is borne by approximately twelve families, however, the Walker family of Dalry, Midlothian are possible candidates in this instance. James Walker of Dalry J.P., D.L. (1790-1856) was called to the Scottish Bar in 1811. He served as Sheriff of co. Wigton from 1818 until his resignation in 1843 when he took up a post as one of the principal clerks of Session.
