Clan Maitland

Consilio Et Animis (By wisdom and courage)

Maitland is a surname of Norman origin; the clan's own history traces it to a Mautalent of Les Moitiers d'Allonne, in the Cotentin peninsula of Normandy. Sir Richard Mautalent married Avicia, daughter and heiress of Thomas de Thirlestane, and so acquired the lands of Thirlestane, Hedderwick and Blyth before 1258. The head of the family was created Viscount of Lauderdale in 1616 and Earl of Lauderdale in 1624, and the 2nd Earl was created Duke of Lauderdale in 1672. COSCA gives Thirlestane Castle, near Lauder, as the clan's historic seat.

Crest & Motto

Clan Maitland Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Maitland is Consilio Et Animis (By wisdom and courage). It appears on the Clan Maitland crest badge: the chief’s heraldic crest set inside a strap and buckle that carries the motto.

In Scotland a crest belongs to the chief, not to everyone with the surname. Clan members may wear the crest badge, with the crest inside the strap and buckle, to show that they belong to the clan. The plain crest without the strap remains the chief’s own.
