Unfortunatly I dont have the written meaning to hand and I cant remember what each bit stands for.
I will be having it tattoo'd onto my back in the new year, just as soon as my sister gets around to drawing it with a bit less detail in it...

Sorry to spoil everyone's fun... :oops:
There is no such thing as a "surname" coat of arms - arms themselves are incorporal heritable property and belong only to a single individual (subject to laws of inheritance) at any one time. If you haven't matriculated arms with Garter King of Arms (in England) or the Lord Lyon King of Arms (in Scotland) then you don't have any! Moreover usurping or assuming arms in Scotland is illegal and there have been prosecutions even recently.
