This heraldic crest badge, enclosed within a buckled leather strap, is a detailed and unique depiction of the Clan Cochrane crest. As is traditional for Scottish clan badges, the circular belt, or strap and buckle, signifies allegiance to the chief and represents the wearer's fidelity and service. This allows all clansmen and women to wear the chief's crest to show their shared identity.

Centrally, a powerful and spirited horse stands upon a wreathed torse. The horse, a frequent heraldic symbol, represents speed, intellect, power, and loyalty, making it a fitting avatar for a clan with a rich history. While some depictions of the Cochrane crest use a demi-horse rampant, this full-bodied horse is rendered with great detail, standing in a noble and ready posture, which can be interpreted as a symbol of steadfastness.

Above, the Latin motto "Virtute Et Labore" is written on a scroll. This can be translated as "By Virtue and Labour" (or Strength and Work), a powerful declaration of the clan's core values. It suggests that the family's success and honor are built upon both good character and determined, industrious effort. Below, another scroll clearly identifies the clan as "Clan Cochrane." Small shamrocks (four-leaf clovers) within the gaps of the outer belt are unusual for this clan and may be a specific decorative or branch-specific stylization, adding a touch of good fortune. Together, the elements create a visual representation of a virtuous, diligent, and powerful lineage, with deep roots and unwavering loyalty.
