The unicorn is Scotland’s national animal (Credit: StockImages/Alamy) From Edinburgh to St Andrews and Glasgow to Dundee, the one-horned mythological horse is real in Scotland. The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland. The Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland, used prior to 1603 by the Kings of Scotland, was supported by two unicorns, and the current royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom is supported by a unicorn for Scotland along with a lion for England. The unicorn is prominently featured in the Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland and the United Kingdom, serving as a symbol of Scotland’s strength, purity, and fearlessness. It is often depicted alongside the Lion Rampant, a symbol of Britain’s royal family. 2pwa.
