The Maule Scallop Shell
Origins
The Maules were a Norman family who came to Scotland in the twelfth century, and who appear thereafter at royal courts, in the Jacobite rebellion and in the restoration that followed. The club is named for William Maule, first Lord Panmure.
In 1898 the club bought the Barry land from Arthur, 14th Earl of Dalhousie: a Maule descendant, and Captain of the club in 1907. The scallop shell came with his permission, and it has not changed since.
The crest is supplied as three parts locked together: the shell, the circling wordmark and the founding date. They are never separated, rebuilt or reset. The shell stays red, the keyline stays grey, and only the lettering changes colour.
