Inventory n° 2012.0.310
An object that may seem unusual in the museum's collections.
However, it has a connection to the history of Maule:
In 1066, one of the sons of the Lord of Maule followed William the Conqueror in his conquest of England.
Some of his descendants settled in Scotland where King David granted them land. Panmure Castle (in the territory of Carnoustie) was one of their residences.
The tile depicts part of the coat of arms of George Maule, 3rd Earl of Panmure (1686).
