On the dexter one is a shield enclosed by the initials M.E.B. and bearing: On a saltire a lion rampant, for Bruce. The sinister lintel bears a shield flanked by the initials M.C. and the date 1599; the shield is parted. per pale and bears: dexter, A saltire and chief, for Bruce; sinister, a fess checky, in chief a crescent between two mullets and in base a boar's head couped, for Clerk. The initials and arms are apparently those of Master Edward Bruce, second son of Edward Bruce of Blairhall, created first Lord Kinloss in 1601, and his wife, Magdalene Clerk of Balbirnie.
