The title is derived from the 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 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.[1]
The current Carrick Pursuivant is Professor Gillian Black. She took part in the Royal Procession at the 2023 Coronation in her previous role of Linlithgow Pursuivant alongside her predecessor as Carrick Pursuivant George Way of Plean.[2]
