Crest & Motto
The motto of Clan Moubray is Fortitudine (With fortitude). It appears on the Clan Moubray 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.

Fortitudine, Latin for 'With fortitude'.
From a Norman family: Historic Environment Scotland records the Moubrays as having come from Normandy, and clan histories trace the name to the barony of Mowbray in France. The name is also found as Mowbray.
The Moubrays were its first owners and held it from the 13th century until 1615, when debts forced Sir Robert Mowbray to surrender it to Sir Thomas Hamilton, later Earl of Haddington. It afterwards passed to the Primrose Earls of Rosebery, and the building standing today was rebuilt in 1881.
Historic Environment Scotland records that the lands of Methven belonged to the Mowbrays until Robert I confiscated them in 1323. They then became part of the dowry lands of the queen dowager of Scotland.
