These two Parrots I spotted supporting a coat of arms on a building on Queen Street in Glasgow confused me somewhat, until I realised it's the crest of the Buchanan Society and they're meant to be Peregrine Falcons!
I love this Art Nouveau style version of the Glasgow Coat of Arms on one of the buildings of the old Lambhill Street School in the Kinning Park area of the city.
Love this gable on the Flemish style former Cranton Tea Room on Buchanan Street in Glasgow, especially the sinuous fish on the city's coat of arms. Built in 1896, it was designed by George Washington Browne.

It's not really about #Trump's social media mental vomit:
The #Danish #King changed the #Royal #CoatOfArms
Removed:
3 crowns, symbolizing the #KalmarUnion between #Denmark, #Norway, and #Sweden
Expanded:
the polar bear and the ram (#Greenland and the #FaroeIslands)
Denmark is giving up on the Kalmar Union (well, it's been 500 years) and embracing its #CommonWealth
#QueenMargrethe abdicated a year ago, and the new #KingFrederik has probably planned this for awhile
After the Union of the Crowns at the start of the 1600s, James VI changed to these arms to a quartered shield containing symbols of Scotland, England and Ireland, supported by the Scottish Unicorn and the English Lion (with a slightly different version used in Scotland and England).
The ornate entrance to John Keppie's Glasgow Savings Bank at Parkhead Cross in the East End of Glasgow. Built in 1907, it includes a pre-Union of the Crowns Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland above the door, which features the lion rampant supported by two unicorns (the national animal of Scotland).

Prior to 1866, when it was first formalised as the one in the top left image, there was a surprising range of different versions of the Glasgow Coat of Arms (other 5 images). These all shared the common elements of the bird, the fish, the bell and the tree, but they varied in their relative positions, in the type of fish depicted, whether the fish was pictured alive (right way up) or dead (inverted), and whether or not there was a ring in its mouth.
A rather wonderful enamel coat of arms on the former National Bank of Scotland building on Saint Enoch Square in Glasgow.
I love this Art Nouveau style version of the Glasgow Coat of Arms on one of the buildings of the old Lambhill Street School in the Kinning Park area of the city.
The coat of arms of the National Commercial Bank of Scotland on a former branch on Gallowgate in Glasgow. The National Commercial Bank was established in 1959 by the merging of two older banks: The National Bank of Scotland, established in 1825, and the Commerical Bank of Scotland established in 1810. In 1969, the National Commercial Bank itself merged with the Royal Bank of Scotland.
The newest instance of the Glasgow Coat of Arms on the snout of the Beithir by Nichol Wheatley which was recently unveiled at the Stockingfield Bridge on the Forth and Clyde Canal.
