Seal of w:Scone Abbey, made c. 1250. Inscribed: S(IGILLUM) ECC(LESIAE) SANCTI TRINITATIS ET SANCTI MICHAELIS DE SCONA ("seal of the Church of the Holy Trinity and of Saint Michael of Scone"). The Earl of Fife's shield is shown at the bottom-left, displaying the early striped version. The arms of the Earldom of Fife are or, a lion rampant gules, that is, a red lion rampant on gold. These arms are testament to the earls' royal connection, as they differ from the king's arms only in the exclusion of the flowered border, or royal tressure; in fact it is possible that the royal arms are actually a differenced version of those of the earl.[1] The device of a lion is attested for the first time on the seal of the tenth earl, but had probably been used for a long time before this, though some early seals show a different shield, bearing pallets or vertical stripes.[2]
