Origin/meaning

The arms allude to the armiger's Scottish descent in both lines. Their father's family comes from Avoch, a fishing village on the Black Isle near Inverness. Their mother's family are of the Clan MacColl (original members of Clan Donald, hence the lymphads) from the Isle of Mull and later Glasgow. They are third-generation clergy in the Episcopal Church, alluded to by the Trinitarian arrangement of salmon in base. The crest is a a visual allusion to the armiger's father's childhood nickname for them: "Rodger the Lark." The motto alludes to Hebrews 6:19, "We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul."
