Male Heir
Formal Usage:
Roderick Shand of Pitscot, younger (abbreviated to yr or ygr)
Roderick Shand, younger of Pitscot (also historically accurate, but can cause
confusion by splitting the surname.)
Note: If the baron is Ian Shand of Tallieban, Baron of
Pitscot, his son is
Roderick Shand of Tallieban, yr. All these usages apply only if the baron has
taken the territorial name-title.
If a Baron has NOT been recognised with a territorial designation
by the Lord Lyon it is WRONG for the son to use this style.
