The central panel shows a winged figure of St. Michael, patron saint of Dumfries, above the town motto "A' Loreburn". This was an ancient rallying cry, for defenders of the town to gather by the Loreburn stream if an attack was expected. Ironically, the Ewart Library was built over the source of this stream, and has suffered considerable problems with damp because of it. http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/dumgal/MiniWeb.aspx?id=33&menuid=164&openid=164
