Buy St. Andrews Cross Flag

This St. Andrews Cross Flag is the official flag of Scotland. Officially referred to as the Royal Standard of Scotland, this flag is used in all official capacities and is flown from Scottish Government buildings every day from sunrise to sunset.

The history of the St. Andrews Cross Flag is linked with the Christian apostle St. Andrew, who is also the patron saint of Scotland. St. Andrew was crucified on an X-shaped cross, which is where the St. Andrews Cross Flag takes its inspiration from. The image of St. Andrews crucifixion has been reported as being used in Scotland from as early as 1180, with the Saltire flag design coming into existence roughly around the 14^th century.

The St. Andrews Cross flag is an important symbol in Scotland and for all people with Scottish heritage. As a result, it is one of the most recognisable Flags in the world and is often seen flying high on St. Andrews Day.
