Flag Flown at Saltire Castle

This genuine Scottish Saltire has flown proudly at the Saltire Trust in Athelstaneford, East Lothian – the historic birthplace of Scotland’s national flag. Steeped in history and legend, Athelstaneford is where, in AD 832, the white diagonal cross of St Andrew is said to have appeared against a blue sky ahead of a battle, inspiring the design that would become one of the world's oldest national flags. This is no ordinary Saltire. Having flown at the very place where the story of Scotland’s flag began, it carries a unique connection to the nation's history, identity and enduring spirit. A remarkable collector’s item, a symbol of Scottish pride, and a rare opportunity to own a flag with a genuine connection to the birthplace of the Saltire.
