My arms are differenced from those of Seton of Abercorn, matriculated ca 1672 in the name of Sir Walter Seton of Abercorn, Bt., and they are Quarterly, Seton and Hay, all within a bordure Gules.

The engrailment of the bordure marks the second son of Sir Walter Seton of Abercorn, Alexander Seton of Hiltly, the founding father of the Swedish branch of Setons, Seton of Preston and Ekolsund, which is my own branch. The charging of the bordure with a martlet marks another second son, and later along the descendancy chain, two martlets and two mullets sets out a third son.

The original bordure Gules in the Abercorn Arms places that family as a cadet branch of Seton of Touch. The Touch Arms, quartering Seton and Hay, where first borne by Alexander Seton of Touch, the first son of Alexander Seton, 1st Earl of Huntly, in his marriage to Egidia Hay. The second son of the Earl of Huntly, in his marriage to Elizabeth Crichton, was George Seton, who assumed the surname of Gordon and became the 2nd Earl of Huntly and Chief of Gordon.

The osprey is the symbol bird of Södermanland, Sweden, and a very common bird in the parts where I place my origin. The osprey inspires me greatly with it´s grace, agility and determination.
