Significance of the Stag: While on a lonely hunt, the Scottish King was surprised by a large angry stag. Unable to get away, he was in grave danger. When a MacKenzie heard his cries and rescued him, the King gave him lands, a title and the rights to Kintail, the original home of the clan.
The Tartan: The regimental tartan of the Seaforth Highlanders, raised by the chief in 1778. The tartan includes green representing forest and field, blue for the sky and free sea, drawn through with white for purity and red for blood and bold fighters.
All denotes freedom, fairness, purity, honour and courage.
Coat of Arms: A stag's hen a blue background. The blue denotes loyalty and truth and the stag's head signifies purity. The flaming mountain peaks signify zeal.
