Rendition of Arms by David R. Wooten.

The undifferenced arms arte those of the armiger's father Camilo Agasim-Pereira of Fulwood & Dirleton, Baron of Fulwood and Dirleton.

The Arms of the Baron of Fulwood and Dirleton and his heirs represents their Jewish faith, love for Scotland and family name origins.

The Magen David Argent has been the symbol of Israel and of the Jewish faith for ages past. The thistle slipped represents the armiger’s pride for his country Scotland. The fructed pear tree eradicated proper, represents the family name Pears or Pear Tree. The fleur-de-lis is a true representation of his past in Europe and the favourite motif of the family. The lion sejant Or is also one of the oldest symbols of Judaism and the script in Hebrew "Adonai Malech (“The Lord is King” in Hebrew letter") testifying to the armiger's faith: only the Lord is truly Noble and Faithful.

The Fulwoods & Dirletons have traced their family's lineage back more than fourteen generations to a Juan Calderon (b. 1662, in Villa Ciervo, Salamanca, Spain) who married Ana Sanchez, also from Villa Ciervo, the family lived in the same area until 1901 when they immigrated to Brazil.

Miss Agasim-Pereira of Fulwood & Dirleton is Lady of the Manor of Colemere and heir to the Barony of Dirleton.
