If you are an American Scot with pride in your heritage, you can display your
coat of arms or family crest for all to see. At Great Scot Shop, we give you a
variety of options so that you can display your family's coat or crest proudly
and with style. A coat of arms or family crest will lend distinction to
everything from a shirt to a travel mug, a whiskey flask to a pewter plate.
The Histories of the Coat of Arms and Family Crest
In their original form, coats of arms were part of the structure of
nobility--once elevated to noble status, a family needed a visual way of
displaying that status, since their written name would go uncomprehended by the
largely illiterate public. The coat of arms, once designed and approved, was
granted by the king or local noble to a single man, who was then able to pass it
down to his descendants. In Scotland, the authority who grants and maintains the
records in matters of heraldry is the Lord Lyon, King of Arms.
Typically, coats of arms are meant for the head of the family. Clansmen and
clanswomen would wear crests instead of arms. Crests were granted to the clan's
chief, and all those who wanted to demonstrate their association with the clan
would wear their clan crest surrounded with a strap and buckle, inside which
would be their clan motto or slogan.
If you are looking for an elegant and stylish way of trumpeting your Scottish
heritage, wearing or displaying your clan's crest or coat of arms is a great
start. If you're already an ardent clan supporter, you might want to look at a
kilt pin or badge with the clan crest to dress up your Highland Attire. Either
way, when you order through greatscotshop.com, you can be sure of quality
products at a great price.
