The North East of Scotland, Banff and Buchan and Moray in Particular retains its Jacobite history and many Jacobite flags can be seen flying to this day.

I disagree. The White Rose (White Cockade) on the red background is the National Trust for Scotland's flag to depict the Jacobite lines at Culloden the Hanoverian lines have a Black Cockade on a yellow background. The Jacobite flag i.e. the Princes Standard was a white box on a red background surrounded by a blue border.The White Rose or White Cockade as it was known was the emblem of the Jacobites and supporters wore a piece of white cloth in the shape of a white rose in their bonnets or costumes.
