122. Heraldic Panel, Wedderburn Castle.
Built into the south-east wall of the courtyard of Wedderburn Castle, at the level of the first storey, is a panel bearing arms: A lion rampant. Above, on a helmet, a stag's head for crest. Underneath there is inscribed on a scroll - GEO. HUM. DNO DE WEDDERBRUN ME FCAT FIERE. The blunders in the inscription are probably due to re-cutting.
See Ber. Nat. Club, 1876-78, p. 206; Nisbet's Heraldry, i. p. 272.
RCAHMS 1915, visited 21st October 1908.
