a. AM BRATACH UAINE (THE GREEN BANNER)
b. Description of the Green Banner
The coat of arms emblazoned on it are those of the Chief granted in 1672 by Sir Charles Erskine, Lord Lyon, King of Arms.
The two clansmen standing at the side of the shield are known as 'supporters' in heraldic terms. They are dressed as they may have appeared at the famous Battle of the Shirts or Blàr-na-Leine in 1544 between the Camerons and MacDonalds vs the Frasers. Because of the extremely hot weather that day, the combatants cast aside their belted plaids and fought in just their shirts and jerkins. It was the style of that day in the Highlands to tie the shirt tails between their thighs.
This is a copy of the original banner which was carried into battle. It is said that 'under it success was assured to the clan'.
