Origin/meaning
Wigtown Burgh did not have recorded arms. Only a seal was known, see below.
In 1975 a larger Wigtown District was formed, comprising the area of the former Wigtownshire. The new district took the arms of Wigtownshire, which were granted on July 21, 1975.
The community council from 1996 comprise the area of the old Burgh and received arms based on the old burgh seal.
