The arms repeat the device on an old seal of the Burgh of which a sixteenth­ century impression is on record. They show St. Adrian, the martyr of the May, on his hazardous sea journey to Scotland from Pannonia in Hungary. He established a community on the Isle of May, off the Fife coast, became a missionary to the Picts and is said to have been slain on the May about 870 during a Danish invasion. <br>

St. Adrian is connected with Pittenweem, as a convent there was joined to the May community, and about the twelf<sup>th</sup> century monks from the May moved to Pittenweem to be nearer their property on the mainland. They built a priory and the town grew up around it.

The Latin motto "With God as leader" seems to refer to the Saint's journeys and his missionary enterprises.
