Note 300 — Symbola Scotica;

This Bearing is of late introduction, as alluding to the Name; for those of the Name anciently gave for Arms "Gules, a Fess Ermine;" and another Branch gave "Argent, Three Stags' Heads erased Gules." [Nisbet]. Crawfurd of Cloverhill has a still stronger relation both to the Name and to his Seat; for to the original Bearing he adds Three Crows; for Crest has a Garb (or Wheatsheaf); and for Motto, "God feeds the Crows." Id. p. 57.—Like the Motto of our Corbet, "Deus pascit Corvos."
