[[File:{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|center|Coat of arms (crest) of {{PAGENAME}}]] | |||
===Official blazon=== | |||
===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially granted in August 1958. | |||
The right half (the left side, to the viewer) is made up of six bars alternating in gold and blue, derived from the coat-of-arms matriculated in England by James Watt’s son, with superimposed on this a green tree, which is | |||
included in the heraldic design for the Arms of Watt and Watson in Scotland. | |||
The left half is derived from half of the Heriot coat-of-arms, as used by Heriot’s School. In this section, the design includes a central blue bar with one and one-half cinquefoils in silver. Above and below this are silver bars; | |||
the lower has half of the five-pointed star of the Heriot shield in blue, and the upper has an open book to indicate the educational status of the owner. | |||
The whole is placed on a compartment and as a 'supporter' a beam-engine as designed by Watt. | |||
The motto is Arte et Animo. | |||
The shield was later granted to the [[Heriot Watt Univerity]]. | |||
