Economy Scottish Standard Flag

Description

Looking for an accessible way to show your connection to Scotland, the country that is part of the United Kingdom? Our economy Scottish Standard flag is a practical choice. This distinctive flag is officially known as the Royal Banner of the Royal Arms of Scotland, or more commonly as the Lion Rampant of Scotland. It features a striking design of a red lion rampant (standing on its hind legs, with forelegs raised as if to strike, with blue claws and tongue) within a double red border adorned with alternating heraldic lilies (fleurs-de-lis), all set against a vibrant yellow (gold) field.

The Lion Rampant is a powerful and ancient heraldic symbol of Scotland, used by Scottish monarchs since at least the 13th century. It embodies strength, valor, courage, and nobility. The red color of the lion and its border signifies bravery and fortitude. The yellow (gold) field represents generosity and wisdom. The double tressure flory counter-flory (the red double border with lilies) is a unique Scottish heraldic device, said to symbolize the historical “Auld Alliance” with France and the dignity of the Scottish Crown.

It’s important to note that while the Saltire (St. Andrew’s Cross – white cross on a blue field) is the official national flag of Scotland for general public use, the Lion Rampant is the Royal Banner and its official use is legally restricted to the monarch and a few Great Officers of State. However, it is widely used unofficially by the Scottish public, especially at sporting events, as a popular symbol of Scottish identity and pride.

It’s made from economy polyester. This material provides a budget-friendly option, especially suitable for short-term events, indoor environments, cultural celebrations, or as a spirited display of Scottish patriotism. The flag is lightweight and will move easily with a gentle breeze. Each flag includes 2 metal grommets, making it convenient to attach to a flagpole or other fixture. We offer this flag in Standard Sizes: 2′ x 3′ (24″ x 36″) and 3′ x 5′ (36″ x 60″). The flag features a single-sided print with a mirrored reverse, meaning the design is visible on both sides, though the back will be a mirror image, and the lion will be reversed. Due to the intricate details of the lion and the double tressure, they may appear less sharp or simplified on an economy flag compared to higher-quality versions.

While this budget-friendly Scottish Standard flag is a simple solution for quick setups or interior decoration, it’s important to note that economy polyester sacrifices some longevity and accurate representation of intricate details compared to higher-grade flags. This makes it a great fit for temporary use, themed parties, or as a cost-effective way to add a bold touch of Scottish heritage indoors.

It presents the iconic colors and basic design of the Lion Rampant, offering a visible statement when budget and temporary use are key considerations.
