Football Heraldry

Here is an image made by one of our Junior Members showing some of the coats of arms of Scottish football teams. It would be good if some of our other Junior Members might show us something of the heraldry of other sports or the football teams of other countries. Here is the coat of arms of Queen's Park FC to which Ross refers:

Battle of Bannockburn 1314


Competition 2: Closing Date June 30th


On the 23rd and 24th June, Scotland will celebrate the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn, outside Stirling. The protagonists were Robert the Bruce (Robert I of Scotland) and Edward II of England.

A full account of the battle can be found HERE.

Your job is to identify the owner of each of the shields and say to which army the bearer belongs.
