Religious and family symbolism



There is quite a lot going on with the symbolism here.

There is a celtic cross at the top, symbolising Christianity and eternity.
The inscription 'O crux ave spes unica' means 'O Cross, our only hope'. It is part of a verse of a very early hymn but is used frequently as a Catholic motto.

The Campbells of Dunstaffnage motto is also here, symbolising that he is part of the family. Only they can use this motto.
