Indeed it does say on the Lyon Court website 'Motto or Slogan' however as Sandford has pointed out, it is the chiefs crest and as he is the owner of the crest, it is he who decides if the 'war cry' in this case, or the motto should be used within the Strap & Buckle to reflect a clansman allegiance to him.

Since we are on Clansman/Clanswoman badges, a Clansman/Clanswoman is permitted to wear his Chiefs crest in a 'Strap & Buckle' (under Scots Law). Any other depiction of the badge in paper form, electronically etc. should be in Black and White Not Colour to reflect that it is the Badge of a Clansman/Clanswoman. The Chief can if he wishes use his Crest on its own in Colour.

I know many Clan Societies depict the 'Clan Crest Badge' as it is known in Colour, this is incorrect. But it will continue know doubt.

As Rathdown pointed out it is the Clan and Heraldic Bucket Shops in the main, for there own gain, that have twisted and promoted their own ideas to shake you loose of your cash.
