'''Carrick Pursuivant of Arms''' is a [[Scotland|Scottish]] [[Officer of Arms|pursuivant of arms]] of the [[Court of the Lord Lyon]].
The title is derived from the [[Earl of Carrick|Earldom of Carrick]], one of the titles borne by [[Robert the Bruce]] before his succession to the crown. The arms of the Earldom are ''Argent, a chevron Gules'', hence the chevron in the pursuivant's [[heraldic badge|badge]]. The earliest known reference to the office is from 1364.
The badge is blazoned: ''A chevron Gules enfiled of a coronet of four fleurs-de-lys (two visible) and four crosses pattee (one and two halves visible) Or.''<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Roads |first1=Elizabeth Ann |title=Badges of the Scottish Officers of Arms |journal=The Double Tressure |issue= 20 1998 |pages=77–86}}</ref>
The current Carrick Pursuivant is Professor Gillian Black. She took part in the Royal Procession at the [[Coronation of Charles III and Camilla|2023 Coronation]] in her previous role of [[Linlithgow Pursuivant]] alongside her predecessor as Carrick Pursuivant [[George Way of Plean]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Coronation order of service in full |work=BBC News |date=5 May 2023 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65503950 |access-date=6 May 2023}}</ref>
