Mosfellsbær is a town in south-west Iceland, 12 kilometres east of the country's capital, Reykjavík. The coat of arms of the municipality is a tightly-knotted triquetra, a symbol often used in Celtic knotwork and strongly associated with the Celtic nations. The coat of arms might denote the Gaelic heritage of Mosfellsbær as Icelanders are also descended from Gaelic-speaking settlers who voyaged or were brought by the Norsemen in Iceland during the country's settlement in the Viking Age.
