Design rationale

Updated inherited arms of the Shetlander baronial house of Brough (Brugh/Burgh) founded by Hugh Sinclair (1563/87), major landowner, lineal cadet descendant of Scottish transatlantic voyager Henry Sinclair, 1st St.Clair/41st dynastic Norse/Norwegian 'Prince'-Jarl(Earl) of Orkney which was certified by his grandson/namesake within the Scottish Lyon Court archives of Joseph Stacey, Ross Herald (1663-86). The 4th quarter and human heart represent another Shetlander branch of Sinclair of Quendale.

The sparrowhawk crest represent armiger's maternal line of Orcadian/Jamaican mercantile family of Laing who were descended in the female-line from the aforesaid 'Prince'-Jarl Henry, whose Norse Viking ancestry/heritage is represented by raven badge and bottom motto in the ancient and now extinct Viking dialect of Orkney-Shetland known as Norn.

The middle inescutcheon is the armiger's titular representation of/to the English (anglicised) branch of the German von Cramm baronial/feudal lords of Oelber and Volkesheim, Duchy of Brunswick, Kingdom of Hanover.
