Premium Nova Scotia Flag

Description

Elevate your display with our premium Nova Scotia flag, a vibrant and deeply symbolic emblem of this Atlantic Canadian province. Renowned for its stunning coastline, rich maritime history, Celtic and Acadian heritage, and vibrant cultural scene, its flag beautifully encapsulates the province’s identity and its strong historical ties. This distinctive flag is a blue saltire (diagonal cross) on a white field, with a smaller, centrally placed red lion rampant within an escutcheon (shield) of the Royal Arms of Scotland, all surmounted by an Imperial Crown.

The design and elements of the Nova Scotia flag are rich with meaning, directly mirroring the Royal Arms of Nova Scotia, and symbolizing its Scottish heritage and its status within Canada:

• The overall design is a reverse of the Flag of Scotland (the Saltire), which features a white saltire on a blue field. Nova Scotia’s flag uses a blue saltire on a white field, symbolizing its direct and strong historical connection to Scotland. “Nova Scotia” itself is Latin for “New Scotland.”
• The blue saltire represents the cross of Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland.
• The white field represents the purity and peace of the province.
• The escutcheon (shield) of the Royal Arms of Scotland is placed centrally:
  • It features a red lion rampant (standing on its hind legs with forepaws raised as if attacking) on a gold (or yellow) field. The lion symbolizes courage, strength, and royalty, directly linking to the Scottish monarchy.
  • The surrounding double tressure flory-counter-flory (a double border decorated with fleur-de-lis) in red, often part of the Scottish Royal Arms, may be implicitly recognized though not always fully detailed on flags.

This harmonious blend of Scottish heraldry and its unique arrangement creates a flag that powerfully articulates Nova Scotia’s deep historical roots, its enduring loyalty, and its distinct identity within Canada. The flag was officially adopted in 1929, though the Coat of Arms from which it is derived dates back to 1625.

Our premium flags are proudly made in Canada, reflecting our commitment to quality craftsmanship. We’ve chosen nylon fabric for its exceptional performance. Nylon provides the best value to durability ratio, making it ideal for outdoor use. It excels in superior colour accuracy, ensuring the vibrant blue, crisp white, bold red, and brilliant gold (or yellow) of the lion and crown are true and striking. The intricate details of the lion and crown are rendered with precision. You’ll also notice outstanding colour retention, meaning your flag will resist fading, and boast impressive longevity, standing strong against the elements for extended periods.
