The falcon’s head is adopted from the crest of the chief of the Clan Davidson, the regiment’s first commanding officer being Lieutenant-Colonel John Irvine Davidson, and the predominant colours of red and blue are from the Davidson tartan that the regiment wears. The number “48” and the word “HIGHLANDERS” are a form of the regimental title and “DILEAS GU BRATH” is the motto of the regiment. Which translates as “Faithful forever”. | |||
The Blazon of Badge was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on March 15, 2007. | |||
