Cursum Perficio (I have completed the course)
Clan Hunter's own history records that King David I invited a group of Normans from the English court to Scotland in the 12th century, among them the Hunters, who have held the seat of Hunterston in Ayrshire for over 900 years. Their oldest surviving charter, granted by Robert II in 1374, gave William Hunter, 10th laird, the neighbouring lands of Ardneil for one silver penny a year, and the clan is today led by Madam Pauline Hunter of Hunterston, 30th Chief.

Crest & Motto
The motto of Clan Hunter is Cursum Perficio (I have completed the course). It appears on the Clan Hunter 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.
