A quarterly journal of articles on heraldic and related genealogical matters. Its focus is English heraldry but it also includes, to a lesser extent, articles on heraldry from other parts of the British Isles, and throughout the world. Over its long run, it has had many useful articles on Scots heraldry or heraldry of individual Scots families. The web site for the Heraldry Society, with information about membership in the Heraldry Society and this journal, is at: http://www.heraldry-scotland.co.uk/

This is the annual journal of the Heraldry Society of Scotland. Among the journals of the Heraldry Societies which publish in English, this one tends to have the most heraldic material, as opposed to genealogical material. However, because a majority of the issues published have some relevance to the Scots heraldic reader, a listing of these articles is not provided here. A complete listing of the contents of the Double Tressure is available on the Heraldry Society of Scotland’s website at http://www.heraldry-scotland.co.uk/tressureindex.html.  It is published only once a year, but generally not in the same month two years in a row. This journal has been produced in three series. The old series was a series of four newsletters of the Heraldry Society of Scotland, and contained few substantive articles, although it did have some material on the arms of members. The second series is a single issue "Jubilee Edition" produced in conjunction with the Silver Jubilee of HRM in 1977. Finally, the new series began in 1978 and has produced a single issue each year since then, with the exception of 1998, when two issues were produced.  The Heraldry Society of Scotland maintains a website with information concerning membership and subscriptions to this journal at http://www.heraldry-scotland.co.uk.

This is the quarterly journal of the Heraldry Society of Canada. While a clear majority of the contents of this journal are dedicated to Canadian Heraldry, the fact that there are so many of Scots descent in Canada has resulted in several articles on Scots heraldry in this journal. However, these Scots heraldic articles have diminished since the formation of the Canadian Heraldic Authority.
