The Ferguson family crest features a bee on a thistle, symbolizing resilience and industriousness, with the motto "Dulcius ex asperis" (Sweeter after difficulties), reflecting perseverance through hardship, rooted in Scottish Clan history and the name meaning "son of Fergus". While the crest is standard, different branches have unique arms, often featuring boar heads, but the bee on thistle is the general clan emblem.
