[[File:Glasgow reception townhall.JPG|thumb|The Banqueting Hall|left]]The entrance hall of the Chambers displays a mosaic of the city's [[coat of arms]] on the floor, which dates from the 1950s when the city's coat of arms was last modified. The arms reflect legends about Glasgow's [[patron saint]], [[Saint Mungo]], and include four emblems – the bird, tree, bell, and fish – as remembered in the following verse:<ref name=guide/>

:''Here's the Bird that never flew''
:''Here's the Tree that never grew''
:''Here's the Bell that never rang''
:''Here's the Fish that never swam''
