The Gammell
Family Coat of Arms
These Arms were granted to Andrew Gammell of Drumtochty in 1841.
'Argent a chevron between three hearts fussways in chief gules joined and pierced by a chain azure and in base a branch of laurel proper with a sword disposed salterwise of the third hilted and pommelled or.'
'For Crest - A pelican with wings displayed pierced by an arrow from behind all proper and in an scrol over the same this motto "Moriens sed invictus." '
In 1958, James Gammell petitioned for and was granted Arms by the Lord Lyon King of Arms as "Gammell of Alrick, Representative of Drumtochty", and thus acquired the same Coat.
