Clan Crest and Tartan
It was the custom for Clan Chiefs to give their followers a metal plate of their crest, to be worn as a badge of allegiance which fastened to their clothing with a strap and buckle. When not in use the belt was coiled around the crest and this covention isused in the clan crest badges of today. Only a Clan Chief may wear the crest without the strap and buckle.
