Erroll Tiara

This link popped up on Pinterest - I know nothing about the family other than they are an old Scottish noble family and the current Earl is Lord Constable of Scotland.
His son and heir married in 2017 and the photographers at the wedding have a website which display lots of pictures of the bride and what I assume is an Erroll family tiara.

What a fabulous find Janet!!
Many thanks for posting.
Everyone might remember that I did some work on the brooches with the cyphers of King William & Queen Adelaide, but I didn't delve into the tiaras worn by the 23rd Countess of Erroll, the holder of the title in her own right &, because the Office of High Constable of Scotland is hereditary, she also held that office.

In some of the photos I used to show how the 23rd Countess wore the brooches, the marvellous floral (rose?) tiara seen in the photos Janet found can be seen.
Because of the limits of old fashioned photography, poor media reproduction & how the 23rd Countess wore the tiara, I hadn't appreciated how splendid it is.
Congratulations Janet! According to the photographer’s website the tiara is by Cartier and there is a photo of the inside of the tiarabox clearly marked Cartier.
