 Scotland The story of the Binning family stretches back through time to the Viking settlers who populated the rugged shores of Scotland in the Medieval era.

Early Origins of the Binning familyThe surname Binning was first found in the West Lothian, where they held a family seat from very ancient times.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Virtute doloque
Motto Translation: By valour and craft.
