A clan badge, sometimes called a plant badge, is a badge or emblem, usually a sprig of a specific plant, that is used to identify a member of a particular Scottish clan. They are usually worn affixed to the bonnet behind the Scottish crest badge, or pinned at the shoulder of a lady's tartan sash. According to popular lore clan badges were used by Scottish clans as a means of identification in battle. An authentic example of plants being used in this way (though not by a clan) were the sprigs of oats used by troops under the command of Montrose during the sack of Aberdeen. Similar items are known to have been used by military forces in Scotland, like paper, or the "White Cockade" (a bunch of white ribbon) of the Jacobites.

  • Ein Clanabzeichen, manchmal auch Pflanzenabzeichen, ist ein Abzeichen (engl.: „badge“) oder Symbol (gewöhnlich ein kleiner Zweig einer spezifischen Pflanze), das benutzt wird, um ein Clanmitglied eines jeweiligen schottischen Clans zu identifizieren. Getragen werden sie meist auf einer barettartigen Mütze hinter dem jeweiligen , oder angeheftet an die Schulter der Tartanschärpe einer Frau. Gemäß einer weit verbreiteten Überlieferung wurden Clanabzeichen benutzt, um Clanmitglieder während einer Schlacht erkennen zu können. Zum Beispiel wurden von den Truppen von General Montrose während der Plünderung von Aberdeen kleine Haferzweige als Erkennung verwendet. Die Jakobiten benutzten beispielsweise die „Weiße Kokarde“(engl.: „White Cockade“). (de)
