Crest Meaning: Duncan
The crest of a ship in distress for the Duncans has never been registered with the Lyon Court to represent the chiefly family, but has a long tradition. An early form of it is first found on the tomb of Alexander Duncan of Seaside and Lundie, who was provost of Dundee and died in 1696. The crest seems to have been introduced sometime before then and 1608, when the arms of Alexander’s predecessor, William Duncan, were added to that man’s tomb and did not include a crest.
The motto, disce pati means ‘learn to endure’ which explains this slightly unusual emblem, although the tomb is too weathered to see if it joined the ship in 1696. It was recorded in Nisbet’s 1722 System of Heraldry, which notes the crest of Duncan of Seafield and Lundie as ‘a ship under sail’ (not quite in distress, but the symbolism would stand).
As provost of Dundee, the symbolism of a trading ship will be a natural adoption, given its thriving port. The disce pate motto will underline that voyages, and therefore prosperity, has to be earnt through enduring hardship.
