The Clan Crest is a Cockrel and the Motto "Commit thy Work to God".
As the Sinclairs are a Norman Clan, perhaps the Cockerel of Norman legend, Chanticleer made a play on words "Chanter Clair", to signify "Sing-clair".

Traditionally, Clansmen would wear a sprig of Whin in their bonnet. (Whin is Gorse)
