A Scottish clan (from Gaelic clann, "children") is a kinship group among the Scottish people. Clans give a sense of shared identity and descent to members, and in modern times have an official structure recognised by the Court of the Lord Lyon, which regulates Scottish heraldry and coats of arms. National Motto: NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT, loosely translated means "No one assails me with impunity" or in English "No one can harm me unpunished".
The Scottish Heart
The mark of a Scot of all classes [is that] he … remembers and cherishes the memory of his forebears, good or bad; and there burns alive in him a sense of identity with the dead even to the twentieth generation.” Robert Louis Stevenson
