Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on January 22, 1931 to the Burgh and on September 27, 1980 to the Community Council.

The arms of the Community Council

Maybole was created a Burgh of Barony in 15I6 in favour of Gilbert Kennedy, 2nd Earl of Cassilis.

The arms follow pretty closely the device on the seal adopted by the Burgh in 1892. The silver field and red chevron of the old Earldom of Carrick denote that Maybole is the capital of that district of Ayrshire.

The three blue lions are for King Robert I who was Earl of Carrick before he became King; the original arms of the Bruce family before they assumed the arms of the Lords of Annandale showed a blue lion rampant on a silver field.

The dolphin crest is that of Kennedy, Marquis of Ailsa, the leading proprietor in the district, while the Latin motto-"Courage to the End" is one of those used by the Bruce family.

The arms of the Community Council are based on the old burgh arms, but with the crown of a community council instead of the crest.
