Symbolism

The white shield with a blue stripe, two red stars and a red lion are elements often found in Macrae arms. The beavers allude to Mr. Macrae’s Canadian identity. The border is a Scottish form of differencing to indicate that Mr. Macrae is a descendant of a younger son, while the serrated line indicates that he himself was a third son.
