The bank's coat of arms, which dates from 1701, is a saltire (St Andrew's cross) for Scotland with gold circles or bezants in between the arms of the cross to suggest coins.

Bank of Scotland Museum of the Mound
Two minutes' walk from Waverley Station is a fascinating museum you should not miss if you are in Edinburgh: the Bank of Scotland's Museum of the Mound. As well as a very interesting display of coinage and banknotes and as a history of Scotland's oldest bank, there is some good heraldry on display.
The last one is a very witty roll of winners of the Bank's gold competition with the bank's motto "Tanto uberior" - "so much more plentiful"
