The Clan Symbol

Mom, Dad and I took a drive around the area yesterday. We drove through Dartmouth and stopped at Fisherman's Cove, which has been developed into a cute little area for tourists. As much they don't like when I bring them souvenirs, my parents really like browsing through souvenir shops (as long as I don't buy anything)! There was a lot of tartan and Scottish paraphernalia, and Mom reminded me to look for the Gilroy clan. Sure enough, I found MacGillivray on cute little kilt pins. When I took a closer look, though, I had to laugh.
All the other clans had a motto in Gaelic or Latin combined with aggressive images of swords and flaming things. The MacGillivray clan looks like this:
So that's where the compulsive love of cats comes from!

That is really funny. I wonder what other unusual family mottos there are out there...
