Not sure where to post this, but I've had occasion to cobble together Clan Banners for games or parades. Trouble is, I haven't any clue what is supposed to go on the banner or what shape to make it!

In Inverness, the banner tended to be a flag carried on a staff, while here they have tended to be horizontal affairs carried suspended form a horizontal pole between two people.

So of what are they made? What does one put on a Clan Banner? Is it permissible to put a coat of arms on a Clan Banner when representing the Clan or is that for the Chief alone?

Example photos would be most welcome!
