Field Visit (17 July 1926)
Armorial Panel, Town Hall.
In the inner wall of the lower lobby an armorial panel of stone has been inserted. The lower part bears in Gothic lettering the inscription, ANNO DNI. 1565, while the upper part displays two achievements set side by side. The dexter shield, which is surmounted by a helmet, is blazoned: On a chevron three mascles, for Sir Patrick Learmonth of Dairsie, Provost at that time; while the sinister shield bears a boar surmounting an oak tree eradicated, an incomplete version of the Burgh arms.
RCAHMS 1933, visited 17 July 1926.
