The Laurel, Axe, and Cypress
The Macleans have used an axe surrounded by branches of laurel (left) and cypress (right) as a general symbol of clan association. This symbol is probably the oldest mark of clan and the only truly universal symbol for the Clan Maclean, transcending the family and sept branches. It is long used by clan members on their personal items, such as stationary, to denote their association with the Clan Maclean.
It is important to note that these particular emblems have no definite shape recognized by the Lord Lyon; any battle axe when paired with two branches (one of laurel and one of cypress) may be used to represent support of the Clan Maclean; however it is most commonly represented by crossing the laurel and cypress behind a lochaber axe crossed in the shape of St. Andrew’s Cross. The Maclaines of Lochbuie use a spear-tipped axe rather than the locharber axe. They may also be worn, used or flown on any occasion and for any reason. less
