The name originates from the time of James I of England and Ireland and VI of Scotland who came to the throne in 1603. James ordered that the heraldic red lion of Scotland be displayed on all buildings of importance – including pubs.
In this case the red lion is a silhouette carving of the lion standing with its paws resting on a rock on the top of the pub sign.
