The arms were granted on June 23, 1931.
The arms have four quarters. The first has a castle from the arms of Ayr, the second has a red chevron on silver for the Carrick district, the third has a black shakefork on white for the Cunninghame district and a blue and silver fess on gold (The Stewart arms) for Kyle.

Ayrshire was originally granted arms on July 8, 1890:
These showed a red cross and in a chief on gold, the arms of Bruce, Lord of Annandale. To these were added a paschal lamb from the arms of Ayr, and two lyres for the musical and artistic heritage of the County.
