Highland Coat of Arms

The Coat of Arms for Highland.

I cannot find a coat of arms for Inverness-shire, but there are different arms for Inverness County and District Councils. The arms above are one version for Highland, the information I have for these arms is detailed below.

The Highlands Council, the new arms of the Unitary Council includes symbols from the previous Highlands Regional Council (the Supporters and gold Star) and each of the constituent former District Councils: Caithness - lymphad with black raven on sail), Ross & Cromarty (silver lion), Sutherland ( castle and crown), Lochaber (lochaber axe with oak leaves), Inverness (crucified Christ), Badenoch & Strathspey (antique crown), Nairn (black water bouget), Skye & Lochalsh (wavy bars and Castle). The red saltire represents the St Andrew's Cross of Scotland. The gold coronet signifies the new Unitary area Councils, and is modelled on the former County Councils green coronet with gold wheatsheaves.

The IBD Home Page and each IBD County Page has or will have (where possible) the relevant Coat of Arms. This is made possible thanks to a fantastic heraldry website called the International Civic Heraldry Website. Sometimes a description is not given due to lack of information, so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. You may visit this superb site by using the link below.
