Arms of Moir of Scotstoun...
...above the old gateway to St Peter's Cemetery off Spital. The blazon is: Argent three Negroes' heads couped proper banded of the first. Crest: a morthead (skull) with two leg-bones in saltire proper. Motto: non sibi sed cunctis (not for self but for all), according to Burke's General Armory (p. 692, 1884 edition). The rendition of the arms, which are a relic of their ancestor's crusader roots from the Battle of Teba (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Teba ) in 1330, in bronze is highly unusual and distinctive. For the remains of the family mausoleum in the graveyard, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4263195 . Thanks to Shawn Moir for information on the arms.

The C-listed (see: http://data.historic-scotland.gov.uk/pls/htmldb/f?p=2200:15:0::::BUILDING:20061 ), semi-ruined structure apparently incorporates some remains of the medieval St Peter's chapel. For the genealogy of this extinct branch of the Moir family, who were mostly staunch Jacobites, see p 75 of "The Families of Moir and Byres" by A Mitchell Gill (publ. Edinburgh 1885), available as a download from http://archive.org
