Scotland Flag

The Scotland Flag, also known as the Saltire, is one of the oldest national flags in the world, dating back to the 9th century. The design of the flag features a white saltire (diagonal cross) on a blue background. The cross symbolizes the crucifixion of Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. According to legend, Saint Andrew was crucified on a cross shaped like an X, and this is depicted on the flag. The Saltire is not only a symbol of Scottish heritage and pride but also a representation of the country’s long history, its culture, and its strong national identity. Displaying this flag is a way to honor Scotland’s traditions and its significance in both local and global history.
