The Armour-Bearer was one of the

Great Offices of the Royal Household in Scotland
.

Coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, but the Court of Claims adjudged that no order be made.[3]

It appeared, however, that the holder had been summoned to perform the office in 1876 during the state visit to

King George V
in 1911.

It is likely that the last holder was Sir Douglas Seton-Steuart Bt JP who died in 1930 with no heirs.[4]
