This crest is the traditional heraldic badge of Clan Wood, a Scottish family with deep maritime roots. Central to the imagery is a three-masted ship in full sail, resting upon a "wreath" or "torse" of twisted silk. This ship serves as a direct tribute to the clan’s most famous ancestor, Sir Andrew Wood of Largo, who was the Lord High Admiral of Scotland under King James III and James IV. Known as the "Scottish Nelson," his naval prowess protected the Scottish coast from English incursions, making the vessel an enduring symbol of naval authority and national defense.

The design is enclosed within a circular belt and buckle, a characteristic feature of Scottish crest badges that signifies the wearer is a follower or kinsman of the clan chief. Inscribed upon the strap is the Latin motto "Tutus in Undis," which translates to "Safe on the Waves". This phrase reinforces the clan's historical mastery of the sea and suggests a sense of divine protection or inherent skill amidst turbulence. Below the ship, the name Clan Wood is clearly displayed on a ceremonial scroll, anchoring the identity of the lineage. Together, these elements represent a legacy of bravery, seafaring expertise, and steadfast loyalty to the Scottish crown.
