The crest you have uploaded is the traditional badge of Clan Edmonstone, a Scottish family with a long history. It contains standard heraldic components that carry specific meanings related to the clan’s identity and values.

The central figure is a swan’s head and neck. In heraldry, the swan is often a symbol of grace, purity, and nobility. Because the swan is shown "proper"—meaning in its natural colors—it emphasizes authenticity and a connection to nature. The swan emerges "out of a ducal coronet," which is a type of crown. This coronet is not a claim of royalty; rather, it indicates noble descent, high rank, or significant service to a duke or the sovereign.

Surrounding the main device is a belt or strap, a feature common to Scottish clan crest badges. The belt symbolizes the bond of loyalty. All those who belong to the clan or are loyal to its chief are, in effect, bound by this strap to the central crest and the motto.

The two mottoes on the banners provide the philosophical foundation for the clan. At the top, in Latin, is "Virtus Auget Honorem," which translates to "Virtue increases honor." This serves as a moral guide, suggesting that true honor is not just inherited but must be earned through virtuous action. The banner at the bottom clearly identifies the group as "Clan Edmonstone."
