The little logo on the last plaque is for this organisation:
Siol nan Giadheal - the Scottish Cultural and Fraternal Organisation.
I don't know anything about them but they seem to be an ultra- nationalist political organisation of some sort. Probably best not dwell on their activities since this forum is not here for poltical discussion.
