Vivat Rex (Long live the king)
Clan MacCorquodale's name is given in Gaelic by Electric Scotland as MacCorcadail, derived from the Old Norse name Thorketill. The clan held the northern shore of Loch Awe in Argyll from Avich to Ard-an-aiseig, with its seat at Eilean-a-Bharain, an island castle in Loch Tromlee. Since the death of the last Baron in the 18th century the chiefship has been uncertain, and the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists no MacCorquodale chief.

Crest & Motto
The motto of Clan MacCorquodale is Vivat Rex (Long live the king). It appears on the Clan MacCorquodale 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.
