Speratum Et Completum (Hoped for and fulfilled)
Arnott (or Arnot) is a territorial name from the lands of Arnot in Portmoak parish, Kinross-shire, which COSCA gives as the family's historic seat. Historic Environment Scotland records that Arnot Tower there, now a roofless 16th-century tower house, belonged to the Arnots of that Ilk, who were created baronets in 1629, until it was sold in 1705 to Sir William Bruce of Kinross. John Arnot was provost of Edinburgh in the burgh records of 1587-9 and treasurer-depute to James VI, and Hugo Arnot (1749-1786) wrote one of the first histories of Edinburgh. No chief is listed for Arnott by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs.

Crest & Motto
The motto of Clan Arnott is Speratum Et Completum (Hoped for and fulfilled). It appears on the Clan Arnott 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.
