Geographically, the British Isles include the islands of Britain and Ireland and all of their off-shore islands. Politically, this means the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, therefore there are six flags, not four. These are; St. George's Cross = England, St Andrew's Cross = Scotland, flag of St David = Wales, St Patrick's Cross = Northern Ireland and the Irish Tricolour = Republic of Ireland. On public buildings within the UK, you are most likely to see the Union Flag, which is an amalgam of the flags of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
