It is so it is no confused with the Mike flag; "My vessel is stopped and making no way through the water", when you are clearly doing 6 knots.

Well you learn something every day.
I have just learned the lion rampant is the Royal Standard. Specifically the Scottish Royal family. Since the current Royal family is the current Scottish Royal Family and their Decedents. Who took over the English throne in 1603. An institution which should have been abolished long ago. It was abolished briefly. After Cromwell public opinion changed and They were restored to the throne. And there was a slight dispute about which particular decedents when the main line was replaced by some Dutchman and some Germans which lasted until 1746. The Germans won and are still on the Throne having changed their name to Windsor in 1914.
I am going to have to seriously consider not flying it ever again, even if it is rather nice.
PS for those of you who think the Saltair and Mike are the same, the Blue is a different shade.

The blue of the saltire has only recently been standardised. I wonder what the Pols do with the pilot flag and theirs? All down to location of flag me thinks.

The Scottish Saltire is one of the oldest flags in the world. In 839, King Angus saw a cross of white clouds (con trails?) in the blue sky over the village of Athelstaneford. He took it as a good omen in a fothcoming battle, which he subsequently won. Thus the blue in the flag has always been sky blue, and anyone confusing a proper Scottish Saltire, with a flag "M", should have gone to Specsavers.

I must admit until now I thought that it was a welsh flag! and that those I had seen flying it up here were welsh ex pats!(and I have lived in Scotland for twenty years)

Mainly flown by the socialists who voted for independence. Otherwise insignificant.

Three errors in one line is pretty impressive.

Would that make them National Socialists then?

Apologies, you're right. Should read, mainly flown by supporters of that famously right wing party, the S.N.P. Also of course the lion rampant is known throughout the world as the long established flag flown by British registered vessels.

Could we perhaps keep all the policitcal stuff and snide comments in the Lounge?
As for flying flags, fly what makes you happy or no flags at all if you prefer.
