Question:I'm searching for a collection of hi-res coats of arms of English, Welsh and Scottish counties, and possibly cities and towns. I'm also interested in national coats of arms. I'm not really expecting to find such a resource free of charge.

click on each county

Heraldic law in England forbade the granting of arms to counties, only to the corporate bodies that govern them,
so there were no grants before 1889 when the first county councils were established.
You could try Googling each of the county councils to see what comes up !

www.college-of-arms.gov.uk is the place to try.
