Scottish Clan Crest Cap Badge

Take your pick from the widest selection of Scottish Clan Crests available, with over 240 Highland, Lowland and Borders names.

All our crests are the authentic rendering of each name, up to date with each clan's particular heraldry. Everything is based on the third edition of Romilly Squire and George Way of Plean's Scottish Clan and Family Encyclopaedia, the gold-standard authority on Scottish crests, which is endorsed by the Lord Lyon King of Arms. Designed to the highest standards of Scottish heraldry, and entirely manufactured in our Glasgow workshop by our skilled artisans. Each one is designed, mastered, cast, hand finished and polished under one roof. 

Want to know more about where Scottish Clan Crest Cap Badges come from? The clan crest is taken from the chief's full coat of arms, the crest being the part on the helmet above the shield. Placing the crest within the strap-and-buckle motif is a way of marking clanship in Scotland, taking its lead from the heraldry surrounding old chivalric belts.

The cap badge is traditionally worn on the Glengarry or Balmoral bonnet on the left hand side, on top of the rosette. However these also make excellent brooches or badges for any occasion.
