The coat of arms of the City of Glasgow, Scotland was granted to the royal burgh by the Lord Lyon on 25 October 1866
The Glasgow coat of arms can be seen in various locations throughout the city, including the City Chambers, where it is prominently displayed. Additionally, it appears on official documents, signage, and various municipal buildings. The coat of arms features symbols that represent Glasgow's history and heritage, including a tree and a bird, and can also be found in the city's parks and public spaces.
The motto on the Glasgow coat of arms is "Let Glasgow flourish".
The coat of arms of Glasgow features a blue shield with a depiction of St. Mungo, the city's patron saint, holding a bell, a fish, a tree, and a bird, which symbolize key events in his life. Surrounding the shield are two supporters: a soldier representing the city’s military history and a figure representing commerce. The crest above the shield includes a ship, symbolizing trade and Glasgow's maritime heritage. The motto "Let Glasgow Flourish" is also featured, reflecting the city's aspirations and growth.

Glasgow, like many cities, owes its existence to the river which flows through it and the fact that in historical times it was a convenient crossing point of that river. In those days the Clyde was not a deep navigable river up to Glasgow, but was the last place where a bridge could be built to allow a crossing without a boat. There was a salmon fishing hamlet at Glasgow (which probably gets its name from the Celtic glas and cu meaning "dear green place" ) when St Mungo established a monastery on the banks of the Molendinar Burn, a tributary of the Clyde, in the 6th century.Somewhat surprisingly, the City of Glasgow did not have a coat of arms until the middle of the 19th century. In 1866, the Lord Lyon King at Arms gave approval for one which incorporated a number of symbols and emblems which had been used on official seals up until then - all of which were associated with St Mungo. St Mungo (who was named originally Kentigern) is said to have preached the sermon containing the words "Lord, let Glasgow Flourish by the preaching of the word." The thrusting Victorian city truncated its motto into the more secular "Let Glasgow Flourish" which is still in use today.Many people, including Glaswegians themselves, are only vaguely aware of the stories and legends associated with the coat of arms. So here is the background to:There's the tree that never grew,There's the bird that never flew,There's the fish that never swam,There's the bell that never rang
