Within the national symbols of Scotland we can recognize a Royal Standard of Scotland, called as the «Rampant Lion» and that even before their union with England, the Scottish monarchs used as a symbol a banner with the same elements that make up the field of the shield. It is composed of a field of gold, a rampant lion of gules, linguado, clawed and armed with azure, enclosed in a double flowered and counterflowered trechor of gules.
The other Shield is that of arms and was used by the Scottish Crown, in this shield is the lion surrounded by the collar of the Scottish Order of the Thistle and protected by two figures (tenants or supports) in the shape of a rampant silver unicorn with golden mane, which also sports the State Shield of the British monarchs.
