Crest above entrance door of Ballindalloch Castle (1546), Moray, Scotland
The motto beneath the coat of arms is that of the Macpherson Clan. 'Touch not the cat bot (without) a glove' means: Do not touch the (wild) cat with unsheathed claws (or Do not mess with us, we are dangerous). The inscriptions on the lintel of the doorway read: Erected 1546 and Restored 1850, either side of 'The Lord shall preserve thy going out & thy coming in'.
