Heritage & Symbolism

Historically, Clan chiefs presented the crest to clansmen as a mark of allegiance and identity. The belt and buckle design surrounding the crest reflects this tradition.

The name “Sgian Dubh” translates from Gaelic to “Black Knife”. It likely refers to the dark color of its handle—traditionally carved from black bog wood—or its concealed nature. Worn visibly in the top of the stocking as part of Highland dress, it symbolizes friendship and openness, not weaponry.
