Our range of Irish crests were devised by the heraldic artist Romilly Squire, who served for many years as a consultant to the Chief Herald of Ireland. These badges use the Crests from Irish coats of arms, as the full arms are too cumbersome to use for the purpose of anything on a small scale. At its core, heraldry is all about communicating a clear message, so he focused on the crests to make the most elegant representations suitable for badges. He then set these crests within a traditional Claddagh circlet motif, along with the Irish-Gaelic rendering of the sept name. All the Irish crests we use are based on the historic examples found in the archives of the Irish Office of Arms.

Hand-cast and finished in our Glasgow workshop, by our highly trained craftsmen. Size 9.5cm by 7cm.

Following Pipe Band regulation, which in turn follow Army traditions, out buckles attach anti-clockwise round the body when looking down.
