I personally prefer the F-H.A.C.G.'s suggestion "In Kilts Fellowship." In my mind the motto is a reflection of the ‘clans’ personality and is almost the marquee of the group. I look at my own motto for Clan Mackay “Manu Forti” – or “With a Strong Hand”. What does this say about the Mackay’s? To me it says we a strong and steadfast clan, one that does not back down under the yoke of oppression, one that stands strong for each other in times of trouble and offers the impression and stature of strength and longevity. There are many other examples, and one of my favorites is “Touch not the cat without a glove” (not sure of the Latin) – This one really does not need an explanation!

The current suggestion of "By Choice, Not by Blood" to me is way too over the top for what we are. As has been eloquently articulated to a great degree, the suggested motto is too exclusionary and has significant political overtones INHO.

I voted NO.
