The Shield of Arms

• The Shield of Arms represents a unique union of the Royal and National Arms of Scotland.
• Granted in 1625, it includes a blue cross - the cross of Saint Andrew from the National Arms, but with the colours reversed - on a white or silver background.
• In the centre is the royal lion inside a double red border, on a yellow or gold background.
