In feudal days one Robert Lovett is said to have borne "Argent (silver) three wolves passant in pale sable" on his Arms and Sir John Lowe of Buckinghamshire had Arms showing three wolves' heads. Besides these heraldry symbols being globally used, the opinions and interpretations between heraldic researchers may vary slightly. The original name of the Cantelupe family was Cantelowe and it is suggested that a wolf's head may have been intended (possibly the original animal head was badly drawn), referring to the Latin lupus (wolf) from which the Lowe and Low families derive their arms. Two such appear in British heraldry. The wolf has been widely used in many forms in heraldry during the Middle Ages.Though commonly reviled as a livestock predator and man-eater, the wolf was also considered a noble and courageous animal, and frequently appeared on the arms and crests of numerous noble families. This Roll is closely followed by the written Glovers Roll, dating from about AD 1255 (Heralds College Ms.L.14).

Clan Skene, an earlier connection of Clann Donnachaidh have their origin in a legend connected with a wolf. In the time of Edward III (1327-1377), a Sir Charles Lupus again used azure wolf's heads as part of his Arms. Whatever lies behind the legend, the lands of Skene became a barony as early as 1318 by a charter granted by Robert the Bruce. The Latin for wolf being "lupus" this use is a form of punning on a person's name when the play of words on a family name is translated into an actual device for display on a shield or banner. Therefore, from the earliest times of heraldic records the wolf can rightly be numbered amongst the honourable creatures of heraldry, along with the lion, leopard, eagle, horse and many others.Notes supplied by Mr. Michael Spencer of Berowra, NSW, Australia. The wolf is also depicted in the Arms of the Lovett family and the Low family. In heraldry, the dolphin is green and red with scales and spikes on his back.
