The Royal Arms of Scotland
Two unicorn supporters flank a crowned shield beneath flags and an elevated crest. Motto scrolls, a collar and a hanging badge extend the design beyond the central arms. The source identifies the Royal Arms of Scotland. Waddell includes the heraldic image within his wider historical argument, but the composition can also be examined as a distinct arrangement of supporters, shield and mottoes.
