I'll Defend
Clan Lennox takes its name from Lennox (Levenax), the historic district of Dunbartonshire. COSCA names Edward Lennox of that Ilk as chief, and the clan's own society records a patent of 28 June 1984 by which the Lord Lyon granted arms, including the crest, to Denis P. H. Lennox, father of the present chief. The motto is "I'll Defend" and the plant badge is the dog rose (Rosa canina).

Crest & Motto
The motto of Clan Lennox is I'll Defend. It appears on the Clan Lennox 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.
