Footnote
The crest and motto is probably for the Lauder family formerly of Belhaven and West Barnes in East Lothian. The motto ‘Repullulat’ translates as ‘It buds afresh’ which relates to the tree being “an old tree budding proper”. However if the crest was read as “The trunk of an oak sprouting out proper” it could relate to the Laurie family also from East Lothian and Berwickshire.
