    Gordon has 3

    "Bydand" - Remaining, or Abiding

    "Animo non Astutia" - By Courage not Craft

    "An Gordonach!" - A Gordon! Probably the rallying cry.
    Convener, Georgia Chapter, House of Gordon (Boss H.O.G.)

    Where 4 Scotsmen gather there'll usually be a fifth.
    7/5 of the world's population have a difficult time with fractions.

    Serva Jugum

    Translated as "Keep the Yoke", based on story of a farmer and his two sons who were plowing fields near where Scottish King Kenneth III fought the invading Danes in 971. The Danes broke the King's men. Seeing them flee, Hay snatched up a Ox yoke and, with his sons, rallied the Scots and defeated the Danes.
    (Summary of history on Clan Hay website).

    My forum name comes from the Hay battle cry: A Hay! A Hay! A Hay!

    Interesting thread.
