The CREST was prepared from a design by McGregor of Manchester and approved at a meeting in Blackpool on the 10th September 1927. It features two angled shields, that on the left comprising a white St. Andrew’s Cross on a blue background (Argent Saltire on Azure), and the right depicting a red Lion Rampant on a yellow field (Gules on Or), superimposed on Thistles Floral with curved inscriptions ‘LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE’ above, ‘FEDERATION OF’ and ‘SCOTTISH SOCIETIES’ in two lines below. The Crest is found on the letterheads, the cover of the Annual Dinner and Ball Menu cards and (in colour) on the badges of the Past Presidents. These were first presented to five former Presidents at the Annual General Meeting in 1951 and to all subsequent Presidents on completion of their terms of Office |

The PRESIDENT’S BADGE was donated by Fylde St. Andrew Society in 1938 to mark the coming into office of J.D. Laurie and also as a memorial to T. Fraser Bowie. It was designed by E. Taylor of Wallasey Caledonian Society and shows a Lion Rampant on a St. Andrew’s Cross backed with Floral Thistles with inscriptions. Currently it is worn on a blue ribbon but started life suspended from a Tartan collar. Badges of a similar design were presented to the Secretary and Treasurer in 1951 and to the Chieftain in 1960
