Clan Grant

Motto:

Stand Fast

Arms:

A lion rampant Sable, armed and langued Gules, and in chief three mullets Azure

Badge:

A mountain inflamed, proper. The badge is encircled by a buckled strap with the Clan's motto of "Stand Fast" on it. The buckled strap indicates a clansman's allegiance to his clan and Chief, and indicates that the badge is not his own. This is as close as a clansman comes to a "coat-of-arms,” as only the Chief and his immediate family can legitimately wear or display the full coat of arms.

Plant badge:

The Scots Pine, a sprig of which was typically worn in the clansman's bonnet to identify his clan.

The current clan Chief, Lord Strathspey, 33rd Chief of Grant, is the direct descendant of the first recorded Clan Chief, Sir Lawrence le Grant.
Clan Grant was the first clan to adopt a common clan tartan, the result of an edict of the Chief of Grant in 1704-5 specifying that all clansmen appearing before him should be wearing tartan that was “red and green … broad springed,” the same as Clan Grant wears today. The “Black Watch” tartan was originally a Grant tartan and is officially used by Clan Grant as its hunting tartan.
