Elliot Border Reiver Clan Embroidered sew on patch

Embroidered with intricate detail, this Clan Elliot Patch is a must-have!

Beautifully embroidered Clan Elliot patch with the clan coat of arms and the motto ‘Fortiter et recte‘ The Ellliots were one of the most infamous and prolific Border Reiver clans. They controlled Hermitage castle “the guardhouse of the bloodiest valley in Britain”. Today Elliots have settled across the globe but originally this famous family inhabited the Anglo-Scottish borders in a lawless area that become known as the Debatable Lands. Here clan and family loyalty was held above all other allegiances and the rule of law and power of Kings but a distant rumour.
