Coat of arms of ROSS & CROMARTY

Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on November 27, 1975

The arms are based on the old arms of the Ross & Cromarty County Council, the red lions and the stag's head remained, the flaming beacon has been replaced by the sun and mullets. The small pale is another addition, the motto is the same. The sun and the mullets are taken from the old arms of Dingwall, the seat of the council.
