Our authentic, traditional heraldic 'belted' clan crest.

The crest is delicately woven by hand, using 'gold' and 'silver' bullion threads.

Width and height: 9cm x 10cm (4" x 3.5")

The belt, or strap and buckle symbolises membership to the clan and allegiance to the clan chief. In Scotland, the Court of the Lord Lyon (the court that regulates Heraldry) states that anyone who professes allegiance to both the clan and its chief can be considered a clan member.

Motto: Per Ardua (Through Hardship, or Difficulty)
