For this reason, many early Scottish names appeared radically altered when written in English. The spelling variations of Batterton include Patterson, Paterson, Pattersen, Patteson, Pattison and many more. First found in Ross-shire, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

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: Pro Rege et grege Motto Translation: For King and people.
