Clan Crest Small Badge / Brooch Kintail House

In Scotland's turbulent past 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 convention is used in the clan crest badges of today.

Only a Clan Chief may wear the crest without the strap and buckle.

This is a lovely small (1" / 2.5cm) Clan Crest badge.

The example shows the Clan Crest Badge of Clan Campbell.

If you can't find your Clan Crest, you can pre-order (2 - 4 weeks delivery time) or for more info and assistance.
