Armstrong cap badge

The cap badge of John Alan Armstrong of Nether Thorniewhats. The crest has azure pallets on silver in the plain silver circlet of a laird. The motto, salute braccia forte means salute arm strong. The hare in full course is Alan's own addition. A laird is entitled to wear two feathers in his cap.
