Symbolism of the McCool Family Crest

The McCool family crest draws its spirit from the legendary Celtic warrior Fionn MacCumhaill, whose courage and keen insight shaped many of Ireland’s oldest tales. The bold red bull featured in the crest is a powerful Ulster symbol, representing strength, endurance, and unyielding resolve. Together, these elements embody the proud heritage of the McCool name—fearless leadership, sharp intuition, and loyalty to clan and land. With its vibrant colours and timeless symbolism, the McCool crest reflects a lineage rooted in myth, bravery, and the enduring character of the ancient northern provinces of Ireland. The dragons on the shield symbolises power, courage and ability. Dragons combine the features of several powerful animals and so in heraldry they often represent an individual or family with exceptional ability, leadership, and commanding presence.
