House of Burnett - 10 GGF Alexander Burnett Mug

Description

Raise your morning dram to the old Scottish bloodline with this striking 11 oz ceramic mug celebrating 10th great-grandfather, Alexander Burnett of Craigmyle (c.1570–c.1640). Wrapped in the soft, heather-bright Burnett Ancient tartan, it carries the full undifferenced arms of Burnett of Leys (argent, three holly leaves vert and a hunting horn sable stringed gules), topped by the proud cubit-arm crest grasping holly, and the defiant family motto VIRESCIT VULNERE VIRTUS – “Virtue flourishes from a wound.” Dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe, and bold enough to remind everyone at the breakfast table that your coffee is guarded by a 17th-century Deeside laird who helped turn Royalist exile into one of Barbados’ greatest planter dynasties.
