Audacter et Strenue (Boldly and strongly)
Pollock, also written Pollok, takes its surname from the ancient lands of Pollock in Renfrewshire, held in the 12th century by the sons of Fulbert; Petrus, who inherited the lands in 1163, was the first person to use Pollock as a surname. On 30 November 1703 Sir Robert Pollock of that Ilk was knighted and made a Baronet of Nova Scotia by Queen Anne. No Pollock chief is listed by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs.

Crest & Motto
The motto of Clan Pollock is Audacter et Strenue (Boldly and strongly). It appears on the Clan Pollock 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.
