Granted 2004 Orders Grand Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog Symbolism The main field of Professor Donaldson's coat of arms is tinctured Or and shows a MacDonald Gules eagle and a Sable boat both symbolising his Scottish ancestry. The Chief field is Azure and shows two gold Commonwealth Stars from the arms of Australia, and a gold infinity symbol in between, symbolising his career in Australia as a mathematician. Above the shield is placed a barred helmet topped with a red rampant lion, which is turned outward. The lion derives from the arms of Scotland and also from the arms of Tasmania and Hobart.
