The motto below refers to the 3rd quarter but is difficult of translation owing to doubts as to the meaning of the word "Bruti". Some say it means "Britons" and that the motto could mean, "Here stand the Britons protected by arms, here the Scots protected by the Cross". But "Bruti" may refer to a Welsh tribe which possessed much of the Scottish Lowlands in early times. | The motto below refers to the 3rd quarter but is difficult of translation owing to doubts as to the meaning of the word "Bruti".
