Originally used in 1180 as
the seal of St. Andrew's Cathedral. The first use as a national
emblem came in 1385 when the Scottish parliment added St. Andrew's
Cross the Scottish military uniforms. Evolved into the National
flag during the 15th century.

Many in North America mistakenly
believe that this is the National flag of Scotland. It is actually
intended for Scottish Royalty. However, King George V, 1865-1936,
granted permission for all Scots to use smaller size flags as
a symbol of Scottish patriotism. |
