Summary

[edit]

The first coat-of-arms of the Burgh of Clydebank comprises a shield surmounted by a coronet with wreath. In the centrepiece of the shield is a Lennox Cross representative of the ancient Earls of Lennox. In chief position is a sewing machine representing the Singer Manufacturing Co and in base position "on the waves of the sea" is a representation of the battleship HMS Ramillies built at J & G Thomson's Clydebank Shipyard in 1892.

In the fess dexter position is a stag's head taken from the coat of arms of shipbuilder James Rodger Thomson, the first Provost of the Burgh. In fess sinister position there is a lion rampant taken from the coat of arms of local landowner, Alexander Dunn Pattison of Dalmuir.

The motto below the shield is Latin, Labore et Scientia, meaning "by effort and knowledge".
