Just to complete this little stylistic survey, here is the splendid 1968 version, presumably by Herald Painter Katherine Chart, for Rt Hon Ethel Sydney Keith, Countess of Kintore in her own right.
By request, here is the 9th (some say 10th) Earl of Kintore KT's matriculation of 1895 when the Herald Painter was the superlative Andrew Ferguson Bainbridge.
Today's crest belongs to Algernon Keith-Falconer, Earl of Kintore (1852-1930), former Governor of South Australia. "An angel kneeling at prayer Or within an orle of two laurel branches Vert."
On July 12th, The Lord Lyon attended the Triennial Meeting of the Clan Cunningham at Carrington Castle. Sir John Cunninghame of Corsehill, Chief of the Name and Arms and 12th Baronet received a sword from the Clan members to mark his Chiefship.
Crest of the Day: Today's crest belongs to Richard Haldane, Viscount Haldane of Cloan (1856-1928) - "An eagle's head erased Or".

@heraldic_artist Yes, indeed. My theory is that Earl Haig's crest was repainted for Lord Stair in the next generation of KTs. Here is a better picture of Lord Stair's arms, the painting dating from 1895.
Today's crest belongs to either Earl Haig of Bemersyde (1861-1928) or possibly 12th Earl of Stair (1879-1961) as they both used "a rock Proper".

Crest of the Day: Sir Harald Leslie, Lord Birsay (1905-1982). "A demi-griffin contournée Proper." Memorial at St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall.
