I travelled to see the Bank of Scotland Coats of Arms in Edinburgh, Scotland. Come join me there too. Welcome to Art, Culture & Travel with me, Anthony King.
The Museum on the Mound in Edinburgh showcases the history of the Bank of Scotland, which was founded in 1695. The bank played a pivotal role in Scotland’s economic development, issuing the country’s first banknotes. The museum displays various coats of arms associated with the bank, highlighting its heritage. The original coat of arms, granted in 1701, features Saint Andrew and a shield with a ship and treasure chest, symbolizing Scotland’s trade and wealth. Through these exhibits, visitors can explore the bank’s contributions to Scottish financial history and its lasting impact on the nation’s economy, which has been rising for many years.
