In 1894 the town of Whitehaven adopted their arms, which were not officially granted by the College of Arms.
The arms are based on those of the Lowther family - Or, six annulets three, two and one sable. These arms appear to have been in use since the early 14th century. The crest is a white dragon from the Lowther arms, although the council always called it a griffin.
