What does the "dicing" mean?

[Jock Scot]

I recall reading, somewhere in my travels, the origins of dicing (partially) had religious implications.
According to what I read, dicing indicated protestant affiliation, no dicing displayed catholic affiliation.
Any truth to this?

Again,things seem to point to the Hanovarian(protestant)--Stewart(Roman Catholic) thing.The Western Highlands was the power base of Bonnie Prince Charlie and it was no accident that the area had(has still) a strong RC connection.I have never heard of the dicing,or not,referred in religous terms though.
