About Our Logo The Standfast logo is the Crest Badge for Clan Grant. The Crest consists of three items; the Emblem, the Motto, and the Belt and Buckle device. The Emblem is a mountain aflame. The mountain is Craigellachie (pronounced "K-ray-g-El-uh-hee") , the "Rock of the Alarm." Craigellachie was the gathering spot for the Clan when the signal fires were lit in times of danger. The Motto is "Stand Fast." The origin of the motto is shrouded in the mists of history. Some say it is derived from Tenons Ferme ("Hold Firm"), the motto of the Norman Family Le Grand. Others say it derives from an incident involving King Haakon of Norway, a putative forebear of the Clan. The most popular story has the Chief of Clan Grant telling his troops to "Stand Fast, Lads" as the enemy charged across the marshy Haughs of Cromdale in 1690. Regardless of when the command to "Stand Fast" was first given it was no doubt repeated many times, most notably when Sir Colin Campbell ordered his famous "Thin Red Line" of Highlanders to "Stand Fast against all odds" at the Battle of Balaclava. (The events of that day were immortalized by Alfred Lord Tennyson in his famous poem, "The Charge of the Light Brigade.") The Gaelic equivalent of "Stand Fast" is Bydand. It is the Motto of the Gordon Highlanders. The Belt & Buckle device indicates that the user is a member of the Clan. Only the Chief of the Clan can use the emblem without the buckled strap. Originally, I thought that the our Logo was public domain. Several months ago I received an e-mail from a nice man in Glasgow informing me
