    Fullarton Clan Badge

    Could I get some help please. I have been designing full color clan badges based on their blazons. Up to now there has been no problem. However, with the Fullarton badge, I ran into a problem.

    In the research I cam up with two different blazons from two different reliable sources and am not sure which is the "right" one. From one source it reads, "An otter's head erased Gules" from the other is reads "A camel's head and neck erased Porper". More searching only added to my confusion as i saw both the otter's head and the camel's head. Can anyone help me determine which is the proper badge?

    Thanks for the help.

    The right one is the crest of the coat of arms of the chief of the clan.

    Both are correct. They are the crests of two separate branches of the Fullartons. A third branch of the family uses a tiger's head (most peculiarly blazoned!). There is no chief of the Fullartons of which I am aware.
