Nemo me impune lacessit

Nemo me impune lacessit is the Latin motto of the Order of the Thistle, the Scottish chivalrous order. It translates into English as: No-one provokes me with impunity. It also appears on the Scottish royal arms, and is the motto of the Royal Scots and Black Watch regiments of the British Army. It will also be the motto of the new Royal Regiment of Scotland. It also appears as an inscription on the rim of the 1984 "Scottish" pressing of the British One Pound coin. This motto is referenced in the Edgar Allan Poe story "The Cask of Amontillado".
