St Andrew's Flag

St Andrew’s flag

The St Andrew’s Cross is the flag of Scotland. This flag is the perfect addition to any flagpole whether it be displayed outside of your business, home or to support your national team at a sporting event. The Saltire is one of the key components of the Union Flag. In Scotland, the Saltire can be flown at any time by any individual, company, local authority, hospital or school without obtaining express consent.
The Scottish Government has ruled that the Saltire should, where possible, fly on all its buildings every day from 8am until sunset. An exception is made for United Kingdom “national days”, when on buildings where only one flagpole is present the Saltire shall be lowered and replaced with the Union Flag. The only exception is on Saint Andrew’s Day on 30th November when the Saltire will not be lowered to make way for the Union where a single flagpole is present.
