MacDonald (Sleat) Family Clan Crest Scottish Four Thistle Brooch

Clan Crest Four Thistle Brooch

A Symbol of Scottish Pride and Global Heritage

The Clan Crest Four Thistle Brooch is a beautifully crafted accessory, meticulously designed with intricate details and available in your choice of durable pewter or elegant sterling silver. At its heart lies your Clan crest, displayed prominently amidst four Oban thistle motifs. These thistles represent the cardinal directions—north, south, east, and west—symbolizing the global reach of your Clan.

Dimensions and Construction

• Central Clan Crest Diameter: 11/16" (17 mm)

• Overall Brooch Dimensions: 2" × 2" (50 mm × 50 mm)

Traditional Belt and Buckle Design

Your Clan crest is encircled by the belt and buckle motif, with the Clan motto displayed in raised relief lettering. This design signifies your proud affiliation with your Clan, as only the Clan Chief may display the Coat of Arms, which is legally recognized as his personal property in Scotland.

Historically, Clan Chiefs presented their crest to clansmen as an emblem of loyalty and unity, a tradition honored in this brooch’s design.
