The latin motto is the Regimental motto of the Royal Regiment of Scotland (and I'd wager a couple of others, as well...I know that the 1st Regiment of Foot used the same motto during the 18th Century). It means "Nobody provokes me with impunity." It is generally considered to be the motto of Scotland itself...and is thought to carry the same symbolism as the Thistle...when you mess with it, you end up getting hurt!
"If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." -- Thomas Paine
