HADDINGTON (Burgh)
Incorporated into: 1975 East Lothian (District Council)
Official blazon
Azure, on a mount in base Proper, a goat rampant contournée Argent, attired and unguled Or, browsing upon a vine also Proper. Above the Shield is placed a Burghal coronet.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 8, 1927.
The arms are based on the device on the oldest known Burgh seals of which impressions dated l296 and 1357 are known. The significance of the goat browsing on the tree is not clear.
 The arms as used on a JaJa postcard +/- 1905 |
A variation of the arms is now used by the Haddington and District Community Council
