Arms of William Guild, St Nicholas' Kirkyard, Aberdeen
William Guild (see: LinkExternal link ) was an important 17th Century benefactor in Aberdeen. Here on his memorial, which sits against the west wall of St Nicholas' kirkyard, we see his arms (Sable, a chevron or between three roses gules slipped vert) impaling those of his wife Katherine Rolland (Argent a fesse chequy sable and or between three ships with sails furled sable). The colours appear to have not quite been rendered correctly for his wife's arms. See Scottish Notes and Queries (December 1888 edition, p. 103) for more (available on archive.org).
