Shakefork & Motto: "Over Fork Over"

A representation of an ancient shakefork (pitchfork) made from a tree limb with forked branches. Symbol for the clan motto: “Over Fork Over” which is a story of two Malcolms: Malcolm Canmore, Prince of Scotland and Malcolm, son of Friskin, a lowland farmer. As Prince Malcolm fled MacBeth’s forces, he took refuge in a haystack while Malcolm, son of Friskin, covered him “over, fork over” with hay; using the shakefork. When Canmore later came to the throne as Malcolm III, he remembered how his life was spared and rewarded the Thanedome of Cunningham to Malcolm, son of Friskin.
