Clan Muir

Durum Patientia Frango (I overcome difficulty by patience)

Muir, also written Mure or More, is a Lowland family of Ayrshire whose principal house was the Mures of Rowallan, in the parish of Kilmarnock. Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan married Robert, the future King Robert II, in 1346. Historic Environment Scotland records that the Mures held Rowallan from at least the late 14th century until the castle and estate passed by marriage to the Campbells of Loudoun in the early 18th century, and the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists no Muir chief today.

Crest & Motto

Clan Muir Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Muir is Durum Patientia Frango (I overcome difficulty by patience). It appears on the Clan Muir 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.
