Pictured here
is the coat of arms of the Chief, James C. A. Burnett of Leys.
As with a crest, there is no such thing as a "family" coat of
arms. Only one person may use a coat of arms at a time, so not
even the Chief’s son may use the exact same coat of arms while
his father is alive.
That said, it is important to add that anyone may display a coat
of arms so long as it is clear that there is no improper claim
to ownership.
