Translation

[edit]

Would the English Translation be:"In my defence, God defends me"? Should a translation be placed at the start of the article for those of us who do not know Scots grammar? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexTG (talkcontribs) 08:46, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if that would indeed be an accurate translation, nor if one is required to be honest. I suspect the phrase could be interpreted a number of ways. As an aside, it isn't a million miles from the orginal motto of the Kings of England, which was "God and my right shall me defend", before becoming trunkated and appearing in French as "Diue et mon droit" ref Either way, you'd need to provide a ref to support it, which if found would indeed be a useful addition to the article.
