Clan MacLea - Livingstone

The Official Home of the Clan McLea (The ancient historical name of the Livingstones)

Technically there is no Clan Heraldry as such. The Clan derives its heraldry from its chief. Of interest to most people is the Crest. A clansman or clanswomen shows his allegiance to the clan by wearing the chief's crest surrounded by a belt and buckle.

The Crest

The crest shows St Moluag with his golden "circle of glory" holding aloft his crozier - the Bachuil Mor in his right hand and the blue cross-crosslet fitchée in his left hand. The Motto is Cnoc Aingeil.

For those who are interested the Lord Lyon will grant a Coat of Arms to any "virtuous and well serving person" who falls within his jurisdiction. This is interpreted quite widely to include most Scots - so why not obtain your very own arms?
