Scotland has two flags - The Saltire or St. Andrew's Cross (white on blue), and the Lion Rampant (yellow and red).
The Scottish flag is the Cross of St. Andrew, also known a The Saltire. It is said to be one of the oldest national flags of any country, dating back at least to the 12th century.
Tradition suggests that St. Andrew (an apostle of Jesus) was put to death by the Romans in Greece. The Apostle Andrew petitioned the Romans not to crucify him on the same shape of cross as Christ, and his wish was granted.
The "Lion Rampant” or Royal Flag of Scotland should, strictly speaking, only be used by royalty. However, it is widely used as a second national flag.
