Miller Family Crest Rocks Glass - Scottish origin

Here’s a proper gift for any Miller who enjoys a wee dram of whiskey. The Miller Family Crest on a classic whiskey glass. Beautifully illustrated. Carefully researched. Uniquely personal.

This coat of arms represents the Scottish branches of the Miller and Millar surname, where the name similarly designated a keeper of a mill. In Scottish heraldry, the central device used by this family line is historically recorded as a cross moline (crux molendinaris), 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.

The Symbolism of the Millers' Cross.

The shield consists of a solid silver or white background (Argent) charged with a centered red cross moline (Gules). 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.

Notable Historical Figures

A 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.
