Clan Mercer

Crux Christie Nostra Corona (Christ's cross is our own crown)

Mercer is an occupational surname, from the Old French mercier, a merchant. John Mercer, a burgess and provost of Perth, was reckoned the wealthiest trader in Scotland in the 14th century; through his marriage to Ada Murray the Mercers gained Aldie in Perthshire from the Murrays of Tullibardine about 1350, and they held it until the late 18th century. No chief is listed by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs, and COSCA's Mercer entry names no chief or commander.
