LENZIE (Community Council)
Area council : East Dunbartonshire
Official blazon
Per fess enarched Or and Sable, in chief two locomotive wheels Azure, and in base on a mount Proper a wall and tower embattled, accompanied on either side of the tower by two buckles Argent, in the port a portcullis of the First.
Above the Shield is placed a Coronet appropriate to a statutory Community Council, videlicet:- a circlet richly chased from which are issuant four thistle leaves (one and two halves visible) and four pine cones (two visible) Or, and in an Escrol below the same this Motto "Respect the Past, Embrace the Future.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 16, 1990.
The two locomotive wheels recall how the coming of the railway in the mid-nineteenth century led to the development of Lenzie as a dormitory town for Glasgow; they have been coloured blue and placed on a gold field to recall that the Comyns were Superiors of the area many centuries ago.
The silver embattled wall with tower comes from the Kirkintilloch burgh arms and represents the Roman fort on Antonine's Wall which stood on Peel Hill.
The buckles (coloured silver for artistic reasons) on the black field allude to the local connection with the family of Stirling of Cadder.
