Heraldry

Arms of Sir Lachlan Maclean, 12th Baronet
Notes
The quartering of the lymphad, embattled tower, salmon, and eagles' heads are characteristic of west highland heraldry.[4] It has been suggested that the eagles' heads may represent the hawks which Maclean chiefs supplied to kings of Scots on certain occasions. The rock may represent Cairnburgh, in the Treshnish Isles.[5]
Crest
A tower embattled argent.[1]
Escutcheon
Quarterly, 1st. argent, a rock gules, 2nd, argent, a dexter hand fessewise couped gules holding a cross-crosslet fitchée in pale azure, 3rd, Or, a lymphad, oars in saltire, and sails furled, sable, flagged gules, 4th argent, a salmon naiant proper, in chief two eagles' heads respectant gules.[1]
