Found in the book titled "THE ORIGIN AND SIGNIFICATION OF SCOTTISH SURNAMES" by Clifford Stanley Sims, published by Avenel Books [New York]; page #42: ELLIOT -- The family are descended from Sir William de Aliot, who came to England with the Conqueror; his arms were, azure, a canton or; crest, an arm and sword; motto, "Par Saxa, per ignes, fortiter et recte." His descendants settled at the village of Elliot in Forfarshire, and some generations later, in the seventeenth century, were seated on the border, in Liddisdale.
From the book "BORDER MEMORIES; Sketches of Prominent Men and Women of the Border", by Walter Riddell Carre, Esq., of Cavers Carre, edited by James Tait, Edinburgh: James Thin, South Bridge, London: Simpkin, Marshall & Co., 1876: "Par Saxa, per ignes, Fortiter et Recte" - Over rocks, through fires, Bravely and Honourably"

Below that is the following text:
"The Elliot's are a Border clan, although many of the family, it is alleged, took their name from the village in Forfarshire.
The Elliots of Redheugh were recognised as the principal family. The Elliots of Stobs originated in the 16th century and in 1666 Gilbert Elliot of Stobs was created a baronet of Nova Scotia. George, the younest son of the 3rd baronet, was born in 1718. He entered the army and served in the War of the Austrian Succession and was wounded at the Battle of Dettingen. He was Governor of Gibraltar when, in 1779, Spain and France laid siege to that important fortress. His defence of the Rock is one of the most glorious achievements in British history. Over 100,000 men, 48 sail of the line, 450 cannon, floating batteries and every conceivable means of warfare were used by the enemy, but the force on the Rock under Elliot remained undefeated. The use of hot shot by the British commenced the complete demoralisation of the enemy. When Lord Howe relieved Gibraltar, the loss of the garrison in nine weeks was 65 dead and 388 wounded. Elliot was created Lord Heathfield, Baron Gibraltar, in 1787. He died in 1790.
Glibert Elliot, descended from the Stobs branch, was the founder of the Minto family. Born in 1651 he followed the profession of law. His work for religious liberty led to his being condemned for high treason in 1685. He was pardoned, and was constituted a Lord of Session as Lord Minto in 1705. He died in 1718. He great grandson, Gilbert, an iminent statesman, was Governor General of India, 1807-1812. For his services he was created Earl of Minto in 1813. He died the following year."
