===Coat of arms=== The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 22 May 1987. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], a goat buck's head [[Erased (heraldry)|erased]] [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|På blå grunn eit avrive sølv geitebukkhovud}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is the head of a male [[goat]]. The goat head has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. A goat was considered an appropriate symbol for the municipality since the area is famed for its [[goat farming]] and its production of [[Goat's milk cheese|goat cheese]]. The arms were designed by Inge Rotevatn. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Aurland |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221008123131/https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Aurland |archive-date=8 October 2022 |access-date=13 May 2023 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Aurland, Sogn og Fjordane (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-14-21.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123045107/https://crwflags.com/FOTW/FLAGS/no-14-21.html |archive-date=23 January 2022 |access-date=13 May 2023 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=22 May 1987 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1987-05-22-446 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230420004133/https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1987-05-22-446 |archive-date=20 April 2023 |access-date=13 May 2023 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref> {{see also|Vinje#Coat of arms}}
