Official blazon

Azure, on a pile Or three bars wavy Gules, accompanied by two mullets in fess and a fetterlock in base Argent, and in the dexter and sinister of the nombril point two crosses couped of the Last, each surmounted by a saltire couped of the Third.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on July 28, 1961.

The arms show the blue field with the silver mullets and red/silver saltire crosses from the coat of Murray of Ochtertyre-Dollerie.

The gold pile with its red wavy bars is for Drummond.

The fetterlock symbolises the old baronial powers of justice exercised at Crieff; this was illustrated rather fearsomely, by a baron and scales, on the Burgh seal.
