The \u003cb\u003e1st and 4th quarters\u003c\/b\u003e are mirrored images, vertically divided (per pale) with white (argent) and black (sable) backgrounds. A chevron and crescent, in contrasting colors, are \"counter-changed\" -- their colors reverse with the background. This quarter represents the Alexander of Menstrie family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003e2nd and 3rd quarters\u003c\/b\u003e feature a gold (or) background with a black ship (lymphad). Three red (gules) crosses, styled as \"cross-crosslet bottony fitchée\" (with trefoils and pointed feet), are placed around the ship. These quarters allude to the Stirling \/ MacDonald lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAt the center of the shield, at the \"point of honor\", sits a smaller shield (escutcheon) of silver (argent).
