Some Background...
Heriot-Watt University was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1966.
Its origins date back to the Edinburgh School of Arts and Mechanics Institute (1821) which in 1854 became the Watt Institution and School of Arts, named after James Watt (1736 - 1819).
Heriot-Watt College was established in 1885 when the Institute amalgamated with the endowments of George Heriot's Hospital (C17th).
The Heriot-Watt shield is derived from the arms of the two key founding bodies.
In one half, bars from the arms of James Watt's son are superimposed by a tree, taken from the arms of Watt and Watson in Scotland.
The other half of the shield is derived from the Heriot coat of arms, as used by George Heriot's School in Edinburgh.
