With a population of 38,000 people, the town received its first achievement of arms in 1954 to mark the centenary of it becoming a municipal borough and was named a parish in 1985.
The completed Achievement of Arms contains a Munro of Foulis shield (indicating the close connection to the Foulis line), with a blue wavy border (denoting the family link to the Fyrish Munros), bearing an ancient crown in honour of the Loyalist Munros, and a saltire denoting the nearly pure Scots heritage.
