This image displays the traditional crest badge of Clan MacGillivray, a historical Scottish Highland family and a member of the ancient Chattan Confederation. Centered within a sturdy, circular strap and buckle frame—representing loyalty and unity—is the potent symbol of the clan: a wildcat.

The cat is rendered in a fierce, rearing posture (salient or rampant), snarling with teeth bared and claws fully extended. Historically, the Highland wildcat symbolized independence, extreme vigilance, and unmatched ferocity when cornered or provoked. The figure stands firmly upon a torse, a traditional heraldic twisted wreath.

Above the cat, the clan motto is clearly scrolled: "TOUCH NOT THIS CAT." This is not just a label but a direct, historic warning to potential foes. It encapsulates the spirit of the MacGillivrays: they are a formidable people who prefer peace but will defend themselves with startling, decisive power if attacked. Below the circular border, a second scroll proudly identifies the bearer as "CLAN MACGILLIVRAY." Small decorative motifs, resembling clover or quatrefoils, adorn the base. Overall, the badge is a compact declaration of identity, history, and the resilient, dangerous spirit of the clan.
