The Flag of Scotland, commonly known as the Saltire or St Andrew’s Cross, consists of a white diagonal cross on a blue background. It is the national flag of Scotland and one of the oldest national flags still in use anywhere in the world. Today, it is proudly displayed during national celebrations, sporting events, Highland Games and cultural occasions, symbolising Scotland’s history, identity and enduring spirit.
According to tradition, the Saltire dates back to 832 AD, when King Óengus II is said to have seen a white diagonal cross appear against a blue sky before a battle. The vision was interpreted as a sign of the protection of Saint Andrew, Scotland’s patron saint, inspiring the Scottish army to victory. Over the centuries, the Saltire became firmly established as the national flag of Scotland and remains one of the country’s most recognisable symbols.
The design of the Scotland Flag carries a simple but powerful meaning:
- White Diagonal Cross (Saltire) – Represents Saint Andrew, Scotland’s patron saint, and symbolises faith, protection and national heritage.
- Blue Background – Traditionally represents the sky from the legendary battle and has become synonymous with Scotland and its national identity.
Today, the Saltire is recognised around the world as a symbol of Scottish pride, culture, history and achievement.
Each pin is carefully handmade and finished with a crystal-clear resin dome, creating a smooth, durable surface that protects the design while making the colours stand out beautifully. On the reverse, the pin is fitted with a durable rubber backing, helping to keep it securely in place while remaining comfortable to wear throughout the day.
