'Stag's Head', 'Stag's Horn', or 'Deer Antler, depending on who you talk to.

From http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/m/maclenn2.html

"in 1645 the MacLennans as usual were entrusted with the banner of Lord Seaforth, the Mackenzie Chief. Round that standard, the famous "Caber feidh," so called from its armorial bearing of a stag's head, a large number of them were cut down."

From http://cdnarmy.ca/inf/seaforth.php

The website of the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada

"Motto: Caber Feidh gu Brath (The Stags Horns Forever)"

From http://www.visitdunkeld.com/clan-mackenzie-tours.htm

"It was then that the Mac Kenzies' last song of triumph was composed, one of the finest rants in the language. It is called Caber Feidh, which means Deer Antler, the badge of the Mac Kenzies; and the verses ridicule the surrounding clans which had fled before it."

Cheers,

Vic
