The shield uses the gold and blue colours from the arms of the Chief of the Clan Scott. The chiefly arms also show on a diagonal strip a mullet (star) of six points between two crescents. Here, for Mr. Scott, the emblems appear at the top of the shield. Furthermore, the six-pointed star is replaced by a different “six-pointed” emblem based on the Paramedic’s Star of Life to allude to Mr. Scott’s career as a Registered Paramedic. The cord represents the aiguillettes worn by an Aide-de-Camp (ADC) on the right shoulder, the side for ADCs to Her Majesty or Her Majesty’s representatives. The wings and maple leaf refer to his military service in the Air Force element of the Canadian Armed Forces.
