This heraldic badge of Clan Masterton is a rich composition of symbols encapsulating the identity, history, and values of this Scottish lowland family. Encircled within a sturdy garter, which traditionally represents allegiance and the secure bond of the clan members to their chief, the central charge features a dynamic, stepping stag. The stag is a standard symbol of majesty, strength, and vitality, reflecting a connection to nature. This specific stag carries a sprig of heather in its mouth, a potent emblem of Scottish resilience, luck, and connection to the landscape. Uniquely, oak branches with acorns also spring directly from the stag’s magnificent antlers. The oak is a universal symbol of endurance, deep roots, and ancient strength, while the acorns represent future potential and growth, indicating a clan built on stable, enduring foundations with promise for future generations.

Crowning the composition on an ornate scroll is the Latin motto "Per Ardua," translating to "Through Difficulties" or "Through Adversity." This powerful phrase serves as an enduring reminder of fortitude and determination, suggesting that true strength and success are forged through overcoming challenges. Together, these elements present Clan Masterton as a lineage that is both rooted in deep, enduring tradition (oak) and dynamically resilient (stag and heather) in the face of adversity (motto).
