The Kerr Crest or cap badge is worn to show loyalty to the Chief. It depicts the crest of the Chief inside a strap or belt engraved with the Chiefs moto, " Sero Sed Serio". This translates to "Late But In Ernest" and refers to the Scottish victory over the English at the Battle of Ancrum Moor in which the Kerr,s played a decisive part. The Sun in Splendor reflects the early religion of the northerly Britons who were worshipers of the sun. The Crest without the encircling strap, is like the Arms of the Chief, and may only be worn or or displayed by the Chief. Only the Chief may wear feathers with the badge, since feathers in a bonnet denote a chief.
