HADDINGTON (Haddingtonshire).

HADDINGTON (Haddingtonshire). Has not matriculated any armorial bearings. The seal represents upon a diapered background a tree growing from a mount, and on the dexter side thereof a goat saliant against the tree. The legend is "David D. G. Rex Scottor. Sig. com. burgi de Hadington." Another seal, within the legend "David Dei Gratia Rex Scottorum. Sigillum commune burgi de Hadington," represents two escutcheons, the dexter bearing a king crowned and seated under a canopy, resting his dexter hand upon a shield charged with a lion rampant and holding in his sinister hand a sceptre. The sinister escutcheon is charged with a mount, therefrom issuing a tree, and on the dexter side a goat saliant against the tree.
