The Coat of Arms also features the city’s Latin motto, Fortiter Defendit Triumphans – ‘Triumphing by Brave Defence’ – adopted following a brave and stubborn resistance against the Scots in 1644.

On the crest section, a demi lion sits atop the city’s historic Castle Keep and flies the swallow-tailed pennon of the Arms of Saint George – the country’s patron saint.
