Supreme Court Badge

The Supreme Court in the United Kingdom is the highest legal authority for Scottish CIVIL law. It has a wonderful heraldic badge, designed by Yvonne Holton, Dingwall Pursuivant and Heraldic Painter at the Court of the Lord Lyon. She was specifically asked not to include any of the traditional symbols for Justice - like the scales or the blindfolded woman - but to include plants from the four countries. Yvonne placed these inside a Greek "Omega" - the final letter of the Greek alphabet as this court has the last word!
