Clan Leask

Virtute Cresco (I grow by virtue)

Leask takes its name from the lands of Leask in the parish of Slains, Aberdeenshire, about 20 miles north of Aberdeen. The family lost its remaining Aberdeenshire lands after investing borrowed money in the Darien scheme, which failed in 1698, and the chiefship is held today by Dr Jonathan Leask of that Ilk.

Crest & Motto

Clan Leask Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Leask is Virtute Cresco (I grow by virtue). It appears on the Clan Leask 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.
