    more info for the Shaw's out there:
    Shaw
    William George Andrew Shaw of Easter Lair
    Seannachaidh and Bard to the Chief of Clan Shaw

    Arms: Quarterly, 1st and 4th, Or, a lion rampant Gules, armed and langued Azure; 2nd and 3rd, Argent, a fir-tree growing out of a mound in base Vert, in the dexter canton a dexter hand couped at the wrist holding a dagger, point downwards, all Gules, overall at the center point a torteau charged with a wolf's head erased Argent, langued Azure.

    Crest: A demi lion Gules, holding in the dexter paw a sword Proper hilted and pommelled Or

    Motto: "FIDE ET FORTITUDINE".

    Slughorn: "NA BEAN RIS A CHAT"

    Matriculation: The Court of the Lord Lyon,1st May 2002. Lyon Register, volume 82 folio 101.

    The arms features two main heraldic symbols: a Fir Tree on a Mound and the Lion Rampant. The fir tree reflects my descent from the Mackintosh Shaw Thanes of Rothiemurchus. Rothiemurchus is part of the great Caledonian Forest. The mound reflects 'the Doune' the ancient hill-fort of which the main family of Clan Shaw held from the fourteenth to the late sixteenth century. The lion traces my lineage via the Chiefs of Clan Mackintosh to the ancient Mac Duff Earls of Fife to the oldest line of the King of Scots via Aedh or Aethelred, believed to be the eldest son of King Malcolm II (Ceann Mhor), circa 1080. With Glen Shee and nearby Strath Ardle being near the heart of Clan Robertson country, the center torteau consists of a white Wolf's Head, which reflects the acquiring of Easter Lair in Glenshee by the marriage of James Shaw to Susann(a) Robertson, daughter and heiress of John Robertson of Bridgend in Strath Ardle in the years shortly after the 1745 Jacobite Rising.

    "Fide et Fortitudine" is the ancient Latin motto of the Clan Shaw: 'by faith and fortitude'. The slogan "Na Bean Ris A Chat" proclaims in Gaelic the battle cry of the family: 'Touch Not the Cat'. This is also the motto of the Clan Chattan, of which the Highland Clan Shaw and the Shaws of Easter Lair are a part.

    I am the Seannachaidh and Bard to John Shaw of Tordarroch 22nd Chief of Clan Shaw and the U.S Member of Council to the Clan Chattan Association. There is more on the Clan Shaw on our website at www.clanshaw.net
