View across to the entrance of this post office at 47 St Vincent Street. The message below the coat of arms reads 'Nemo me impune lacessit' which is the Latin motto of the Order of the Thistle and of three Scottish regiments of the British Army. The motto also appears, in conjunction with the collar of the Order of the Thistle, in later versions of the Royal coat of arms of the Kingdom of Scotland and subsequently in the version of the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom used in Scotland. It is often translated as No one attacks me with impunity, or rendered in Scots as Wha daur meddle wi' me?. It is also alternatively translated into English as No one can harm me unpunished.
