Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on December 12, 1932.
Saltcoats was created a Burgh of Barony in 1528.
The arms are based on the device on the Burgh seal adopted in 1892. The galley recalls the former shipbuilding and shipping interests of the town; the ruined salt works are a reminder of the salt-making from sea water and ashes which was carried on there until early in the nineteenth century; the salmon is for the fishing industry; the gemmed ring on the red field is from the Eglinton arms.
The Latin motto - "By sea and by land" - comes from the seal
