    That's very thoughtful Brute.

    Not to denigrate your sentiment, or the memory of your friend, but I have learned that those who are into heraldry are pretty sensitive about the accurate display of those symbols. You may want to run the design by someone knowledgeable of those things just to check it out. Our own MacMillan of Rathdown may be a good person to start with.

    Again, kudos on your thoughtfulness.

    Well done. A remembrance of a fallen friend does not have to conform to heraldic standards.

    Thanks guys. His history meant a lot to him, and I am glad we were able to attend one highland games together before his passing.

    As far as the sensitivity of the symbols and such, I will only be displaying it here in this thread and as my facebook profile picture.
