Origin/meaning

The crest of a demi-lion holding a pennon is in honour of the armiger’s fore-bearer in France, de Forest of Quartdeville, whose arms are charged with a demi-lion in base. The Croix pattée in the hoist of the pennon represents the armiger’s Scottish ancestors in Clan Barclay who once held the lands of Balvaird, Arngosk, and Kippo. The crest sits atop a helm appropriate to the Dignity of a Baron in the Baronage of Scotland. The motto in French “Un Cran Plus Loin" translates roughly as "One Step Further”.
