I found this and wanted to share it !





Best,

Thank your for sharing the photo. Heraldry is an area of study I find intriguing.

That is a beautiful rendition of the Donnachaidh's arms. But is it only a trick of my screen, or are those wolves Or instead of Argent? They look gold on my screen.

Yes they do look Or...
Mmm... very tarnished Argent perhaps ?

This representation of the Coat of Arms of Clan Donnachaidh belongs to the Chief and may only be used or worn by him

Rollo makes a very good point here. Only the chief may make use of these arms; others of the clan must be content with the crest inside the belt and buckle.

BTW, my paternal grandmother is a Robertson.

Wolfes are Or !

The 1745 reenactment group I used to belong to portrayed the Robertsons of Struan. Check out our flag in this pic! The wolf heads were done in silver paint:

Exactly, I mistake in words between gold and silver : The coat of arms is a Gules, three wolves' heads erased two and one Argent, armed and langued Azure (Red, three wolves heads erased silver, armed and tongued blue)

This is why we use Or and Argent even in English !
