HELP!!!!!! Where do I get a Clan Badge Avatar???
Hi, gang...
Yeah, I'm a newbie. I'd LOVE to get an Avatar of my Clan: MacNicol. There's got to be one somewhere I can download and put with my Signature file. Can someone give me a lead or two as to where these can be found??

Yep, that's it all right. Now I just have to get it as a JPEG so I can add it in as an Avatar.

In heraldry, especially heraldry in the British Isles, coats-of-arms belong to an individual, not everyone bearing the same surname. This may have been arms that belonged to someone named MacNicol at one time, but what you want is the badge of a clansmen/women, which is found here:

Sorry to be a stickler on this, but I dealt with this on an almost daily basis as a genealogy librarian, and I hate to see people being misinformed by these "bucket shops".

Sandy,
Look on the website for Clan McNichol or www.electricscotland.com under "clans" or "septs". You should find some pictures of the clan symbols and other information.
Welcome to the forum.
