NORTHERN IRELAND



'There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle,
'Twas St Patrick himself, sure, that set it;
And the sun om his labor with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye often wet it.
It thrives through the bog, through the brake, and the mireland;
And he called it the dear little shamrock of Ireland'
Green Little Shamrock of Ireland, Andrew Cherry

Edge Inscription: DECUS ET TUTAMEN
Translation: An ornament and a safeguard

'O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen'
The Flower of Scotland, Roy Williamson

Edge Inscription: NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT
