Clan Baird

Dominus Fecit (The Lord made)

Clan Baird does not currently have a chief: since 2019 the Lord Lyon has instead commissioned an interim Commander. The lands of Glencuithill and Auchmedden in Aberdeenshire came to Andrew Baird by 1534, and the undifferenced arms of Baird of Auchmedden, Gules a boar passant Or, were recorded in the Lyon Register in 1672. A petition for the chiefship based on those arms is still in process.

Crest & Motto

Clan Baird Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Baird is Dominus Fecit (The Lord made). It appears on the Clan Baird 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.
