In Scottish heraldry, the central device used by this family line is historically recorded as a cross moline (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"251\"\u003ecrux molendinaris\u003c\/i\u003e), which features curved ends designed to replicate the appearance of a mill-rynd—the iron bracket fixed at the center of a millstone. This serves as a traditional canting, or punning, heraldic device that visually illustrates the bearer's surname. This armorial tradition is documented in the historical records of the Lyon Office in Edinburgh and standard British armorial references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThe Symbolism of the Millers' Cross.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eThe shield consists of a solid silver or white background (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"59\"\u003eArgent\u003c\/i\u003e) charged with a centered red cross moline (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"109\"\u003eGules\u003c\/i\u003e). The use of the cross moline directly references the mechanics of the milling trade rather than a purely religious symbol. In the standard language of heraldry, the silver field signifies peace and structural integrity, while the red of the cross represents fortitude and military service. The crest featured above the coronet consists of a decorative plume of ostrich feathers in alternating red and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eNotable Historical Figures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eA prominent historical figure belonging to the Scottish armorial tradition of the cross moline was Sir Thomas Miller, 1st Baronet of Glenlee (1717–1789). He was a legal scholar who rose through the Scottish judiciary to serve as the Lord Justice Clerk and later as the Lord President of the Court of Session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(6, 102, 102);\"\u003eAbout the artist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEach crest featured here is an artwork by heraldic artist Éamonn Breathnach.
