The additional embellishment of a double border set with lilies occurring during the reign of Alexander III (1249–1286). This emblem occupied the shield of the royal coat of arms of the ancient Kingdom of Scotland which, together with a royal banner displaying the same, was used by the King of Scots until the Union of the Crowns in 1603, when James VI acceded to the thrones of the kingdoms of England and Ireland. Since 1603, the lion rampant of Scotland has been incorporated into the royal as part of the United Kingdom. It can be seen today in the Royal Standard however, officially restricted to use by the Monarch and at royal residences. The Royal Banner continues to be one of Scotland’s most recognisable symbols. “Money shown not included”
