The saltire is the national flag of Scotland. It is one of the oldest flag in Europe. It came from one of the Apostles who was crustified using a cross shaped like the flag.
Scotland has two flags and one of them has two names. The best known is the flag with a blue background and a white multiplication cross. This flag is known as both the St Andrews Cross and the Saltire. The other flag depicts a lion standing on its hind legs and is known as the Lion Rampant.
It was noticed that a saltire was created by white clouds against a blue sky after the battle of Athelstaneford. The saltire was the cross of St. Andrew and therefore the colours were adopted for the flag.
The Union Jack, as it is known today, was created in 1801 with the unification of Great Britain and Ireland. It combines elements from the flags of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The design incorporates the red cross of St George, the white saltire of St Andrew, and the red saltire of St Patrick. Prior to this, there were earlier versions of the flag, such as the Union Flag of 1606, which represented the union of England and Scotland.
If Society was created in 1999.
