PORTSBURGH
Incorporated into : 1856 Edinburgh
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were never officially registered.
The arms were an adaptation of the arms of Edinburgh, and were surrounded upon the burgh seal by the words SIGILLUM BURGI DE EDINBURGH BARONIÆ SUÆ DE PORTSBURGH. The arms were differenced by a representation of the sun in his splendour in the sinister chief environed by a cloud. The towers of the castle are battlemented, but have no roofs as they have in the arms of Edinburgh. The rock is quaintly adorned with plants, rabbits, and hedgehogs, and the sky with birds and bees volant. Colours are not known.
