Carved chair with LOCK SICKER motto on it

I have inherited a large chair with a double opening door under the seat. On the chair back there is a carved battle scene and there are thistles carved as decoration. The motto LOCK SICKER is carved over the opening doors of the cupboard.
I have photographs. Can anyone please help me with dating or finding out a bit more about this seat?
Thankyou

Re: Carved chair with LOCK SICKER motto on it

My personal motto is 'A Lock Sicker', so this is really interesting!

Lock Sicker, as you probably know, is the motto of the earls of Morton.

But I cannot help with dating the chair.
