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.

Crest: A dagger held erect

Motto: Manu Forti (With a strong hand)

War Cry: "Bratach Bhan Chlann Aoidh" ("The White Banner of Clan MacKay" - In reference to the white battle flag carried by Angus Du Mackay, 7th of Strathnaver, who led his men to victory in 1431, at the Battle of Drumnacoub against the Clan Sutherland at Tongue.)
