Flag: Scotland

The flag of Scotland features a white diagonal cross known as the Saltire on a blue background. The cross represents Saint Andrew and is often called St. Andrew's Cross. Its origins date back to the 9th century, making it one of the oldest flags in continuous use. It is used to represent Scotland as part of the United Kingdom and to show support for Scottish national teams in sports events. Popular as a symbol of regional and cultural pride, it is often flown on flagpoles, ships, and at official buildings. It is also commonly used in social media and messaging to indicate Scottish heritage or travel destinations. In Unicode, it is encoded as a tag sequence and supported by many platforms.
