Janet (Jacoba) Douglas coat of arms with those of her 2 husbands.

until it can be certified by the Lord Lyon with the help of someone who is "pre-1500" certified per https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1500_Profiles#Adding_Information_without_Certification and according to https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/835548/illegal-images-under-appearing-profiles-scottish-individuals My bad. Hopefully someone can find the time to add a crest or a family coat of arms to such deserving ancestors. Thanks to Madison-125 for the information.
