PORTRUSH (Urban District Council)

Incorporated into : 1974 Coleraine; (2015 Causeway Coast and Glens)

Arms (crest) of Portrush

Official blazon

Gules, an anchor in pale cabled, all proper.

Origin/meaning

The arms were not officially granted.

The anchor may simply be a symbol of the importance of shipping for the town.

The JaJa cards give rather different arms, see below. These show the arms of the Marquesses of Lothian.

The arms as used on a JaJa postcard +/- 1905
The arms in the Coffee Hag albums +/- 1925
