David Sellar (1942–2019) taught in the Edinburgh University Law School for some 40 years prior to appointment as Lord Lyon King of Arms in 2008. He maintained a steady stream of significant publications on the medieval history of the Highlands and Islands, with a particular interest not only in what could be learned from clan genealogies of the period, but also in the region’s literary culture and material remains such as Sueno's Stone.
