Clan Heraldry

 

Clan Ewen is defined as an armigerous clan. This means that it is a clan without a chief, and is officially led by its armigers.

This page shows examples of some of the arms granted by Lyon Court to people with surnames associated with the clan.

MacEwan of Muckley Arms of MacEwan of Muckley, 1743.
Muckley was descended from the MacDougall chiefs, and takes the MacEwan name from Ewan Mor MacDougall of Balinreoch; the lion here is derived from the arms of MacDougall.
Motto unknown
MacEwan of Glenboig Arms of MacEwan of Glenboig, 1796.
Usually in Scottish heraldry, all armigers of the same surname bear related coats of arms, but Glenboig is quite unlike any others within the clan.
Motto: Pervicax Recti
McEwen of Marchmont and Bardrochat Arms of McEwen of Marchmont and Bardrochat.
These arms are clearly related to the earlier arms of MacEwan of Muckley.
Motto: Reviresco
Ewing Arms of Ewing, 1566.
These are the arms recorded for the name Ewing in the Workman Armorial. This armorial is dated 1566, making this by far the earliest grant of arms within the clan.
Motto: Audaciter
