Clan MacQuarrie

Turris Fortis Mihi Deus (God is a strong tower to me)

MacQuarrie is a Hebridean clan whose chiefs held the small island of Ulva, off the west coast of Mull, together with Staffa and a portion of Mull itself. Tradition traces the family to Guaire, said to be a brother of Fingon, ancestor of the MacKinnons, and its descent to Gregor, son of Alpin, king of Scots. The sixteenth and last chief, Lachlan Macquarrie of Ulva, was compelled to sell the clan's lands for his creditors and died in 1818 without male issue. His kinsman Major General MacQuarrie of Jarvisfield, a native of Ulva, was Governor of New South Wales from 1809 to 1821.

Crest & Motto

Clan MacQuarrie Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan MacQuarrie is Turris Fortis Mihi Deus (God is a strong tower to me). It appears on the Clan MacQuarrie 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.
