Crest & Motto

Clan Little Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Little is Concedo Nulli (Given by COSCA as "no surrender, no retreat, yield no ground".). It appears on the Clan Little 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.
