History of the St Andrew's Cross Flag
The St Andrew's Cross Flag, commonly known as the Scottish Flag or the Saltire, is the national flag of Scotland and one of the oldest national flags in the world. Featuring a white diagonal cross on a blue background, the flag represents Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, who is said to have been crucified on an X-shaped cross. According to Scottish tradition, the origins of the Saltire date back to the 9th century when a white cross appeared in the sky before a battle, inspiring a Scottish victory and leading to its adoption as a national symbol. The St Andrew's Cross has been associated with Scotland for centuries and became firmly established as the country's national flag during the medieval period. Today, the Scottish Flag is proudly flown at homes, businesses, sporting events, government buildings and cultural celebrations throughout Scotland and around the world. The Saltire remains a powerful symbol of Scottish history, heritage, culture and national identity.

How should I look after my flag?
To clean your woven polyester sewn flag, gently hand wash it in lukewarm water using a mild detergent, or machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Avoid using bleach, fabric conditioners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the fabric and stitching. Rinse thoroughly and allow the flag to air dry naturally before re-hoisting or storing. Do not tumble dry, and if ironing is required, use a cool iron on the reverse side. Always ensure the flag is completely dry before storage and, for maximum lifespan, lower the flag during severe weather and inspect it regularly for signs of wear.
How Long Will A Sewn Scotland - St Andrews Flag Last?
The lifespan of a sewn Scotland - St Andrews flag depends largely on its location and exposure to the weather. In sheltered inland locations, a high-quality woven polyester sewn flag can provide many months or even years of service, whereas flags flown in coastal areas or exposed high-wind sites will experience greater wear due to increased wind loading, salt air and harsher weather conditions.
For locations subject to frequent strong winds, we recommend selecting our optional antifray netting, which helps reduce stress on the fly edge and can extend the working life of the flag. To maximise longevity, flags should be lowered during severe weather conditions and inspected regularly for signs of wear. As with all outdoor textiles, no flag will last indefinitely, but choosing a premium sewn Scotland - St Andrews and following good flag care practices will help achieve the longest possible service life.
