EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Coat of Arms of Inverness, Scotland, a heraldic emblem steeped in history and tradition. Dating back to circa 1900, this intricately designed coat of arms is a testament to the rich heritage of Inverness and Scotland as a whole. At the heart of the design lies a shield, divided into quarters. The first and fourth quarters display a silver saltire on a blue background, representing the ancient Kingdom of Scotland. The second and third quarters showcase distinctive heraldic devices: a rampant red stag's head on a gold background, symbolizing the ancient Royal Burgh of Inverness; and a gold elephant on a red background, representing the historic connection between Inverness and the ancient Kingdom of Pre-Roman Britain. The crest above the shield is adorned with a golden coronet, signifying the royal status of Inverness. The motto, "Motus in Rivo," which translates to "Motion in the River," is inscribed below the shield. This motto is believed to have been inspired by the city's location at the mouth of the River Ness. The Coat of Arms of Inverness is a visual representation of the city's storied past, its connection to Scotland's rich history, and its unique identity. This image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in heraldry, Scottish history, or the symbolism of coats of arms.
