Notes | The Gairdner family crest contains "a demi-leopard rampant" (i.e., the leopard is not collard or lined, which is the crest for another branch of the Gairdner lineage). The family name originates from Scotland. References: 1) Fairburn, James. (1905). Fairburn’s book of crests of the families of Great Britain and Ireland, p. 217.
