Crest & Motto

Clan Heron Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Heron is Par Valeur (By bravery). It appears on the Clan Heron 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.
