Unicorn of Scotland – with the passing of Queen Elizabeth in 1603 with no heir, her cousin King James VI of Scotland ascended the English throne as King James I. The first person to unify the crowns in a single being, James I brought the famed Unicorn of Scotland to the Royal Arms of England. Throughout the reign of the Stewart monarchs, the Unicorn of Scotland would support the arms alongside the Lion of England, as is done today as of 1837. This Unicorn of Scotland supports a shield with the Scottish coat of arms, a single rampant lion.
