I just stumbled across this site and saw your query about the Bissets of Fife.
Although I can't prove the link, my paternal grandfather was George Bisset who was born in the late 1800s in Methill, Fife (his mother was a Craig). He subsequently moved to London in the early 1900s to become a policeman and had my father, Arthur William Bisset, in 1912 (out of wedlock) with a lady called Ellen Francis.
My grandfather then disappeared but is believed to have emigrated (possibly to South Africa).
The oak tree emblem is common to all the Bissets of Lessendrum, as is the shield and coat of arms which is (I don't have the heraldry terms!) a navy blue shield with a diagonal silver stripe (bottom left to top right)and an arm in chain mail carrying an axe and the motto, Nemo me impune lacessit (roughly translated as Let noone get in my way).
Again, I don't know if this helps, but it might be of interest.
Regards
Richard Bisset
