Origin/meaning
The arms were granted May 18, 1985.
The arms are based on the local Pillarguri-legend. In 1612 a Scottish army marched through the area on its way to Sweden. They were stopped by the local farmers at the battle of Kringen. The legend tells that the farmers were warned for the Scots by a local girl with a trumpet, Pillaguri.
New research has shown that the whole legend dates from the 1830s, but that some parts are markedly older.
