Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1993.

The design incorporates the arms of both the City of Edinburgh and Scottish Command, now known as Army Headquarters Scotland, and, of course the Saltire.

The motto gives some indication of the relationship of the Castle to the City in that the translation literally means 'The Castle is the City'
