Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 1, 1996.
The first quarter shows two cinquefoils derived from the arms of Monklands and Motherwell. The open Bible is derived from the Cumbernaud and Kilsyth arms and signifies the connection with the Covenanters in the 17th century.
The second quarter shows a flaming tower, derived from the Monklands arms. It signifies the iron and steel industry in North Lanarkshire.
The third quarter shows three stars, symbolising the Holy Trinity and is taken from the arms of Strathkelvin. The miner's lamp comes from Cumbernaud and Kilsyth and is a symbol for the former mining industry.
The fourth quarter shows a fountain, a canting symbol (well) in the Motherwell arms.
The motto "Pro bono publico" means 'For the public good'.
