Clan Irvine

Sub Sole Sub Umbra Virens (Flourishing both in sunshine and in shade)

In 1323 Robert the Bruce granted the Royal Forest and Barony of Drum in Aberdeenshire to William de Irwyn, and Drum Castle became the family's seat. The Clan Irwin Association records that the Bruce gave the family holly leaves for arms, and holly still appears in the crests of both the Drum and the Bonshaw branches. The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists Alexander Irvine of Drum as chief of Irvine.

Crest & Motto

Clan Irvine Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Irvine is Sub Sole Sub Umbra Virens (Flourishing both in sunshine and in shade). It appears on the Clan Irvine 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.
