Coat of arms of Edinburgh

The Coat of Arms of the City of Edinburgh is the official armorial ensign of Scotland's capital city. The present version is a modified version of the arms registered by the Lord Lyon King of Arms in 1732, which had been used unofficially for several centuries previously.
==Symbolism==
The castle represents Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh's principal landmark. The crest, an anchor, represents the Lord Provost's position as Admiral of the Firth of Forth. The dexter supporter, a "woman richly attired with her hair hanging over her shoulders" represents the fact that Edinburgh Castle was historically known as the "Castle of the Maidens" probably due to it being used to protect princesses and noblewomen in times of war. The sinister supporter, a doe, recalls the city's patron saint St Giles who spent much of his life in solitude in the forests of Provence with only a doe for company.
The motto ''Nisi Dominus Frustra'' means "Except the Lord in Vain", a shortened version of a verse from Psalm 127: "Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."
