The University of the Highlands and Islands has unveiled its coat of arms. Granted by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, the official responsible for heraldry in Scotland, it has been designed to reflect important aspects of the university.
A compass rose with a fleur de lys indicating north denotes the university’s location, while two open books symbolise learning. The university’s partners are represented by 13 hazel leaves, a tree associated with wisdom in Celtic and Norse tradition.
I am proud to be associated with this great new university.
