Crest & Motto

Clan Craig Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Craig is Vive Deo Et Vives (Live for God and you shall have life). It appears on the Clan Craig 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.
