Official blazon

Badge: On a torteau the number 48 Argent above a scroll Azure edged and inscribed HIGHLANDERS in letters Argent, all encircled by a belt Azure edged buckled and inscribed DILEAS GU BRATH in letters Argent, overall in chief on a wreath Argent and Gules a falcon’s head couped Argent.
Motto: DILEAS GU BRATH.

Origin/meaning

The falcon’s head is adopted from the crest of the chief of the Clan Davidson, the regiment’s first commanding officer being Lieutenant-Colonel John Irvine Davidson, and the predominant colours of red and blue are from the Davidson tartan that the regiment wears. The number “48” and the word “HIGHLANDERS” are a form of the regimental title and “DILEAS GU BRATH” is the motto of the regiment. Which translates as “Faithful forever”.

The Blazon of Badge was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on March 15, 2007. Literature: Image from https://www.canada.ca/en/services/defence/caf/military-identity-system/canadian-forces-badges/
