History of the Scotland Flag (St Andrew's Cross)
The Scotland Flag, commonly known as the Saltire or St Andrew's Cross, is the national flag of Scotland and one of the oldest national flags still in use today. Featuring a white diagonal cross on a blue background, the flag honours Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, who is traditionally believed to have been crucified on an X-shaped cross. According to Scottish legend, the origins of the Saltire date back to a battle in the 9th century when a white cross appeared in the sky, inspiring a Scottish victory and leading to its adoption as a national symbol. Over the centuries, the St Andrew's Cross has become an enduring emblem of Scottish history, heritage and culture. Today, the Scotland Flag is proudly flown at homes, businesses, sporting events, government buildings and cultural celebrations throughout Scotland and around the world, representing Scottish identity, national pride and a rich historical legacy.
