Lockerbie Academy's Crest

The School Crest - The Flying Spur encircling an open book - is adapted from the Johnstone Family (the Lords of Annandale) Crest. The School has permission from the Earl of Annandale and Hartfell to use this Crest. The motto “nun quam non paratus” translates as “Always be Prepared”.

The Crest is featured on the School Tie, printed between stripes of red and gold, the School Colours.

A large wooden carving of the Crest (left), displayed in the Assembly Hall, was presented to the school by the late Miss M M Reid, former Provost of Lockerbie, and was unveiled by her on 5 January 1965.
