Crest Badge & Clan Heritage
The MacEachern Crest Badge
The design shown here is presented in the style of a Scottish clan crest
badge, combining a heraldic crest and motto within a strap and buckle.
In Scottish tradition, the strap and buckle represents a clansman or
clanswoman’s association with the chief whose crest and motto are
shown. A crest badge is distinct from a coat of arms and should not be
understood as personal arms belonging to everyone who shares the
surname. Historical associations and heraldic designs may vary between
family branches and sources.
