The weakly Kulchural run
Seeing customers at Berwick we paused at Athelstaneford (good Scots name 😂) and ran across and over Trapain Law - site of extraordinary archeological finds and ponies. On the way back we paused at the Saltire museum https://scottishflagtrust.com/the-flag-heritage-centre/. Housed in a fine restored 15C Doocot it is worth a visit and the nearby gravestones are good as well. For the Borders, no surprise that cattle raiding sparked off the invention of the Saltire.

Well I do not think so - I think #scotland displaying the #saltire everywhere is a show of strength against arrogant #England dominance
Apart from the Coronation, I know nobody who would put up a #union flag - just an insecure #populistRight govt on their way out in 2024 who mandated it on public buildings. At other times there are not that many of these flags flying aside from govt buildings. Show me one in someone's garden and it will be a nutter on the fringe

I suspect the "abundance of flags" at present in #England is something to do with an event on Saturday - not with "insecurity" - otherwise on that basis #scotland is way more insecure than #England since the #saltire flies everywhere there, but I do not detect insecurity in that nation's inhabitants (unless their insecurity is like #ukrainians feel about their bully neighbour)

Like I said - #labour is a unionist party as much as the #tory party is
No surprise
If I were the #snp I would look for more legislation to pass in #holyrood that is popular in #scotland but intolerable to all the #wokeAllergic #toriesOut and get them to ban #scotland from doing more stuff within her own borders
Maybe something about gender-neutral toilets, banning school uniforms or enforcing the planting of the #saltire on all public buildings?

To all who call Scotland home and everyone around the world who holds it dear – Happy St Andrew's Day!
The use of the saltire as a flag dates to at least the 9th century AD, but we have something MUCH older – a piece of granite with a perfect quartz vein 🏴!

Happy St Andrew’s Day! In 2013 my mum found this perfect saltire stone washed up on the beach in front of St Ninian’s Cave near Whithorn. Ninian (c. 360-432) established a church at Whithorn and is credited as the first missionary to Scotland.
