Royal Arms of Scotland

The Royal Arms of Scotland feature a red shield with a silver or white diagonal cross, known as the Saltire or Saint Andrew’s Cross, symbolizing Scotland’s patron saint. Around the shield is a decorative frame, often including a crowned lion supporter and motto. The arms reflect Scotland’s history, identity, and sovereignty, with the Saltire dating back centuries as a national symbol. They are used by the monarchy and represent Scottish heritage and authority within the United Kingdom.
