Royal Arms of the Kingdom of Scotland (1560-1565) - Pint Glass 16oz

The Royal Arms of the Kingdom of Scotland from 1560 to 1565 represents a significant period in the country's heraldic history. This emblem, distinctively Scottish in design, serves as an official symbol of the monarchy during the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots. The shield features a lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory, which is a unique arrangement of flowers and leaves known as 'tressures.' The Lion Rampant, a traditional Scottish symbol, represents courage and valor, while the tressure signifies peace and prosperity. The Royal Arms during this time also includes a unicorn, another national emblem, supporting the shield. This particular version of the Royal Arms was used until the Union of the Crowns in 1603, marking the end of an era for Scottish heraldry.
