KILRENNY, ANSTRUTHER AND DISTRICT (Community council)

Area Council : Fife

Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on January 25, 1995.

The arms are a modified version of the arms of the Royal Burgh of Kilrenny, Anstruther Easter and Anstruther Wester, granted in 1929. The anchor is for Anstruther Easter, and denotes that it is a seaport. The black and silver colours are those of Anstruther of that Ilk, whose castle stood in the area. The three fish are for Anstruther Wester and refer to the salmon river on the border of Anstruther Easter and Wester. The base shows a fishing scene for Kilrenny.
The motto means 'May the hook ever hang in your favour'.
