This detailed heraldic design is the official cap badge of Clan Marjoribanks, a potent symbol steeped in Scottish tradition. The badge is constructed with meticulous classical engraving, featuring a robust, studded circular belt as its frame, complete with a prominent buckle and holes. This garter-style belt signifies the wearer's allegiance to the clan chief, encompassing the elements within it.
Centrally placed on a plain field and rising formidably from an elaborate noble coronet and a twisted torse is a rampant gryphon. This mythological creature, with the body and hind legs of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, is a standard of heraldic power. In this rearing pose with wings extended and claws unsheathed, the gryphon represents a perfect fusion of courage, vigilance, and wisdom, combining the terrestrial strength of the lion with the aerial mastery of the eagle.
The Latin motto on the upper scroll, "Et Custos Et Pugnax," translates to "Both Guardian and Fighter." This profound statement provides the core meaning of the crest: the Marjoribanks are seen as balanced and redoubtable figures—equally skilled as a stalwart protector and a fierce warrior. Below, the second scroll simply identifies the badge as belonging to "Clan Marjoribanks," grounding the entire, powerful heraldic program in a specific, historic lineage.
