My clan

As beeing part of a family yhat once originated from Scotland, I can not help to show you my Nisbeth, or Nesbitt clan, crest here.
You can se that further down - here is our family tartan.

Here is our crest - I Byd it.

This is our coat of arms, the original Scottish one Nisbet - With the boars.

In Sweden we have a slightly different coat of arms, with three bears on it, instead of boars. Somewhere someone heard wrong I suppose?
