It is the flag of Saint Andrew, patron saint of Scotland
The Flag is called the saltire, it represents the the cross St Andrew was hung on.
Another version is that it was spotted in the sky east of Edinburgh shortly before a battle whose identity escapes me and adopted as their standard. It's seen in the sky a heck of a lot over Scotland now thanks to air travel.

∙ 10y agoThe flag of Scotland is a white cross saltire (diagonal, or X-shaped) on a blue field. The flag is called St. Andrew's cross, named after the patron saint of Scotland, who was crucified on such a cross. In heraldry, blue is the color of fidelity and trust, and white is the color of innocence and purity. Both these colors reflect the honesty and integrity of the saint that they represent.

∙ 9y agoThere is no "blue cross" on the Scottish flag. This is actually a WHITE cross on a blue background. This flag is known in Scotland as the 'Saltire' and is the emblem representing Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. This simple patriotic flag has been in use in Scotland for over 800 years.
