This is the Lion Rampant flag, which, although not officially the national flag, is quite
popular and frequently seen. Technically it belongs to the monarch and is called
the Royal Standard of Scotland. I took the photo below of the Royal Arms
featuring the Lion Rampant at Edinburgh Castle in 2015.


The rampant lion is fitting for a proud, and at times fierce people.
ReplyDeleteThe people of Scotland served the UK well in Ww1 and Ww2.
In Ww2 Edinburgh Castle served as a hospital, military prison and center of plans to retake Norway.
The castle plays host to the great
Royal Military Tattoo.
