County Louth Coat of Arms

The crest features a sword as symbol of administration. This stands between two ears of barley, because of the importance of agriculture to the County. The motto is LUGH SÁIMH-IOLDÁNACH #45; meaning Lugh, Master of all Arts. Louth takes its name from the God Lugh.

The IBD Home Page and each IBD County Page has or will have (where possible) the relevant Coat of Arms. This is made possible thanks to a fantastic heraldry website called the International Civic Heraldry Website. Sometimes a description is not given due to lack of information, so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. You may visit this superb site by using the link below.
