The first and fourth sections are further quartered, presenting a complex interplay of heraldic elements. The first and fourth sub-quarters feature a silver field with a black hunting horn, a red string, and a red crescent in the upper right. Above this, a blue, wavy stripe bears three silver stars. These quarters represent the Murray of Melgund family. The second and third sub-quarters show a blue field with a silver chevron between three gold fleur-de-lis, representing the Kynynmound family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe second and third grand quarters display a red field featuring a gold, zig-zag diagonal stripe (bend engrailed) bearing a blue baton, all framed within a border of heraldic fur (\"vair\"). This represents the Elliot of Minto line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eOverlaying the whole design is an augmentation of honor: a silver top stripe (chief) charged with a side-profile of a Moor’s head in natural colors.

On the right (dexter) is an Indian sheep, and on the left (sinister) a fawn, both presented in natural colors.
