    Duncan of Sketraw Crest Badge

    I have just received my new crest badge and pin made by Roddy Young in Inverness.

    Doesn't the feather mean something?
    Never appeal to a man's better nature. He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage. L. Long

    It signifies that Sketraw is an armiger.

    Those are very nicely done, Sketraw. I especially like the motto.

    Beautiful. Can you show us the full attainment of the arms?

    This is the full achievement of arms;



    You can see the grant of arms on this page Click Here

    The cost would vary depending on artwork but around £550. Subsequent Belt & Buckle badges would be a lot cheaper now that the basic artwork and moulds are made. About £75 and depending on amount ordered this price would further be significantly reduced.
