There is a complicated set of coronets for the different forms of local authority – city, island, unitary authority, community council and so on – but the historic mural coronet (for Royal Burghs) has not been used since burghs were abolished in 1975. For more on this, consult www.heraldry-scotland.co.uk/civic.html or download the late R.M. Urquhart’s quite wonderful Scottish Burgh and County Heraldry (1973) and Scottish Civic Heraldry (2 volumes, 1979).
