Ogilvie-Arms-Colour

This coat of arms was developed for the occasion of the canonization of St John Ogilvie in 1976 and is based on the ancient heraldic devices of his ancestors, the Ogilvy and Sinclair families. The motto used with the Ogilvie arms is Usque ad Finem (Latin = "to the very end"). Scottish heraldry places the motto above the arms.
