Aye, great idea! RGM, Niagara Extraordinary to the rescue!

A magnificent piece of work, Harold (or should I say MacNificent?).
I admire the effort you have put into including all those shields in a common format, as well as the holly background.
As for typefaces, the sans face is not all that bad, especially since it contrasts with the serif lettering of the mottos. But you could experiment with a few variations.
The crest badge at bottom right (lower sinister) is straightforward, but I was wondering what the emblem (collared lion’s head erased) on the left-hand side (lower dexter) represented.
Regards,
Mike

The Lions head with collar is the badge of our clan chief. It appears on his standard. We just put it in a nice little frame.

The problem with that is that badges are free-standing and that "nice little frame" is really a Baroque style oval shield appropriate for a woman's arms. But now, at least, the lion's head makes sense.
