Many of us could adopt this motto as we stay safe at home: ‘Clausus Tutus Ero’ - 'Closed in I am safe’— Abbotsford (@AbbotsfordScott) May 5, 2020
Scott used it on his book bindings with an image of a portcullis, which is also carved above the Portcullis Gate at Abbotsford, symbolic of Abbotsford as a personal sanctuary. pic.twitter.com/n9f3Scvdzy
