(Regimental Colours)


Official blazon

Badge: A torteau charged with a leopard’s face Or and environed by a wreath of thistles proper, overall an annulus Azure edged and inscribed ARGYLL AND SUTHERLAND and CANADA in letters Or surmounted in chief by the Royal Crown proper and in base by two scrolls Azure edged and inscribed ALBAINN and GU-BRATH in letters Or.
Motto: ALBAINN GU-BRATH.

Origin/meaning

The Crown represents service to the Sovereign. The wreath of thistles (the national flower of Scotland), here, in the shape of a maple leaf representing service to Canada, is a common device among badges of highland infantry regiments. The leopard’s face is based on the crest of Lieutenant-Colonel William Alexander Logie, the regiment’s first commanding officer. “ARGYLL AND SUTHERLAND CANADA” is a form of the regimental title and “ALBAINN GU-BRATH” is the motto of the regiment. The Motto translates as "Scotland forever".

The Blazon of the badge was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on Ferbruary 15, 2010.
