The first quarter shows the historical arms of the Diocese of St. Andrews. The second and third take elements for Dunkeld and Dunblane respectively. The fourth is derived from the old seal of the Diocese of St. Andrews.

The previous arms, used in the late 19^th century, but never officially granted, also showed a quartered shield, with in the 1st and 4th quarter the arms of St. Andrews and in the second and third the historical arms of the Diocese of Dunkeld and the Diocese of Dunblane.
