Scotland Flag Meaning & History

Scotland’s flag, also known as the St. Andrew’s Cross or Saltire, has been a national symbol for centuries. Depictions of Saint Andrew’s crucifixion began appearing on Scottish seals around 1180 CE, and in 1385, the Parliament of Scotland decided that the cross should become a national military symbol. 

The design of a white saltire on a blue background was used as a Scottish naval flag in 1507, marking the first official adoption of the current flag. When Scotland and England were unified in the 17th century, the Union flag, or ‘Union Jack,’ combined the Scottish and English national flags. The basic saltire design fell out of widespread use around this time in favor of the Union Jack. However, it regained prominence in the 20th century thanks to the recognition of Scottish pride and culture.
