When you enter the castle, you can hardly miss the "Lion Rampant" of the Royal Arms of Scotland at Argyle Tower over the portcullis gate. The lion is depicted red with blue claws and tongue. Atop of the shield sits the Crown of Scotland.
This symbol has been used by the Scottish monarchs from the 12th century on.
Please note that there is an entrance fee for the castle.
