Arms of MacNeil of Barra (Scotland) Vinyl Decal: Design Description

This vinyl decal features a striking representation of the Arms of MacNeil of Barra, a heraldic design steeped in history and symbolism. The centerpiece is the shield, meticulously quartered to display the clan's heritage and values.

The Shield: A Quartered Legacy

The shield's quadrants tell a rich story:

  • 1st Quarter: A gold rampant lion on a green background. This regal emblem references the royal lineage of Scotland and embodies strength and courage.
  • 2nd Quarter: A silver background features a triple-towered castle, rising from a sea. This vividly depicts Kisimul Castle, the ancestral stronghold on Barra Island, anchoring the clan's roots in its homeland.
  • 3rd Quarter: A black lymphad (medieval galley) with furled sails and oars on a gold background. This symbolizes the seafaring heritage of the MacNeil clan and their historical connections, possibly including their migration from Ireland.
  • 4th Quarter: A gold background holds the “Red Hand of Ulster,” a right hand cut at the wrist within a border of nine red fetterlocks. This signifies the clan's claimed descent from the legendary Niall of the Nine Hostages of Ireland, with the fetterlocks representing that origin.

Heraldic Embellishments

Beyond the shield, the design incorporates additional elements:

  • Crest: Above the shield, a “rock proper” rises from a red cap lined with ermine, adding further visual detail.
  • Supporters: Two rampant lions, mirroring the lion of the first quarter, flank the shield, enhancing the design's grandeur and symbolizing strength.
  • Compartment / Base: The supporters stand on a base adorned with dryas, the clan’s badge, representing the natural environment.
  • Motto: The motto, "Buaidh no bas", which translates to "To conquer or die" / "Victory or death", completes the design.

The overall artwork is a visually captivating display that embodies the history, bravery, and unwavering spirit of Clan MacNeil of Barra.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
