No chief for Aiton is listed by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs, and COSCA's Aiton page names no chief or commander.

Crest & Motto

Clan Aiton Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Aiton is Decerptae Dabunt Odorum (Roses plucked will give sweet smell). It appears on the Clan Aiton crest badge: the chief’s heraldic crest set inside a strap and buckle that carries the motto.

In Scotland a crest belongs to the chief, not to everyone with the surname. Clan members may wear the crest badge, with the crest inside the strap and buckle, to show that they belong to the clan. The plain crest without the strap remains the chief’s own.
