UK Coat of Arms and Flags improvement thread

In trying to come up with an alternate UK timeline, I found a number of coats of arms of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales were simply not that great. Many were JPG, many were black and white. So this thread is for those artistic folks to contribute 'improved' coats of arms / flags to use across this forum and the alt history wiki. The file format should be SVG or PNG, and in color.

An example of a lesser quality Coat of Arms (Morayshire):

An example of a much better Coat of Arms (England):

I'll post up the historic counties and their coats of arms soon. But I hope this thread will be a great resource for everyone for some good looking coats of arms / flags of the historic counties of the United Kingdom.

These are the existing symbols for the countries of the United Kingdom, all from Wikipedia, all in SVG there, and in PNG format.

A small request: a combined coat of arms for all 4 countries, in this style in PNG/SVG:

200px-Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png

Just replacing the bottom right CoA of England with that of Wales (above). Then, variants for each of the other countries:
Scotland: Scotland top left, then England top right, Ireland bottom left, Wales bottom right
Ireland: Ireland top left, England top right, Scotland bottom left, Wales bottom right
Wales: Wales CoA top left, England top right, Ireland bottom left, Scotland bottom right.

This is where it gets into the coats of arms that need improvement. First off, Scotland:

Aberdeenshire

Angus (former Forfar)

The flag of Angus is a-ok over on Wikipedia

Argyllshire

Ayr

It looks like some historic Scottish counties have flags, and some don't, but all have coats of arms.
