The Tartan: The regimental tartan of the Seaforth Highlanders, raised by the chief in 1778. The tartan includes green representing forest and field, blue for the sky and free sea, drawn through with white for purity and red for blood and bold fighters. All denotes freedom, fairness, purity, honour and courage.

Coat of Arms: A stag's head on a blue background. The blue denotes loyalty and truth. The stag's head signifies purity.
Significance of the Stag: While on a lonely hunt, the Scottish King was surprised by a large angry stag. Unable to get away, he was in grave danger. When a MacKenzie heard his cries and rescued him, the King gave him lands, a title and the rights to Kintail, the original home of the clan.

Note: In 1833 Rev. David Mackenzie and his family left Scotland, coming to Ontario and locating at St.Thomas, where he built the first Presbyterian Church in that city of which he was the pastor for a few years. From St. Thomas he moved to Woodstock. His was the first brick residence built at Woodstock. At the close of his pastorate at that place, finding his health impaired, by the advice of his physician he settled on his farm at Westminster and there his useful life closed. He was acknowledged to be one of the best educated men of his day and spoke both English and Gaelic fluently. Politically he was a
Reformer and a subscriber, from its first issue, of the Globe. The Globe was the leading Reform paper of Ontario.
Christopher enjoyed the educational advantages afforded by the public schools of Woodstock. On reaching his majority he engaged in farming at Westminster for twenty years, during which time he cleared up a fine farm, planted shade and orchard trees and erected comfortable and appropriate buildings. His residence and farm were among the finest in the county. This property he sold in 1871 and settled in Petrolia, when the town was almost wholly in the east end. Here he engaged in general merchandising, in which he continued for nineteen years, in the meantime becoming interested in the oil business.
It was in the 1860's that he and his brothers John and William moved from Middlesex to Petrolia, Ontario, Canada where they set up a dry goods business. (Mackenzie & Bros.)
Since 1890, when he disposed of his mercantile business, he has been engaged as an oil producer. This business he entered in 1872 by the purchase of one acre of land, which was in the woods and covered with water, paying for the same the sum of $1,030. Here he put down his first well in 1872. It proved a fine one, producing 100 barrels per day. He is now the operator of seventy-two wells, all under his personal supervision. His lumber business he disposed of to James and John Kerr.
