Starting from the top is the crest which shows a book with the golden mask on top of it. The mask is a common symbol for the dramatic arts.
Below that is the helmet that Scottish heraldry uses to denote a Knight.
The Shield is more interesting. In ‘chief’ or at the top of the Shield are crossed golf clubs to represent his love of golf and next to that an artist’s palette because his wife is an artist.
In the centre, is a ‘fess’ which is the blue horizontal section across the Shield. On this fess placed an Oscar upon a modified saltire. It is no secret that Sir Sean was a keen supporter of the movement for Scottish independence.
In base or the lowest part of the Shield is a Scottie dog because the couple have one.
Hanging below the Shield is the badge or a Knight Bachelor.
The palm trees are for Bermuda which is where he lived in the latter part of his life.
Although not in the blazon, somewhere beside the sea unicorns, I have managed to fit in 007!
