Clan Pringle

Amicitia Reddit Honores (Friendship gives honour)

Pringle takes its name from the family's original homestead of Hoppringill in the parish of Stow of Wedale, and the surname is first recorded in the reign of Alexander III in the mid-13th century. As squires of the earls of Douglas, holding the wardenship of Ettrick Forest, the Pringles built Smailholm Tower near Kelso in the first half of the 1400s. On 18 February 2020 the Lord Lyon recognised Sir Murray Pringle of that Ilk and Stichill as 26th Chief of the Name and Arms of the Honourable Clan Pringle.

Crest & Motto

Clan Pringle Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Pringle is Amicitia Reddit Honores (Friendship gives honour). It appears on the Clan Pringle 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.
