Say it how it is.....

...in Manor Kirkyard near Peebles, the enclosed grave (a mark of the local gentry) is occupied by the family of John Forrester of Barns. He was a Writer to the Signet, born in 1799, died in 1882. He was the son of a minister of the Church of Scotland.

The family motto at the top is "Blow, hunter, thy horn."

The Urban Dictionary says that this is a "Family motto bequeathed to the Forest clan in Northumberland, of which spelling variations include: Forrester, Forester, Forrest, Forster, Foster, and Forrestor. Almost to a man, this clan consists of underachievers, slackers and halfwits."

Which seems harsh!
