Summary

Description
English: The Scottish Flag, also referred to as the ‘Saltire’ or ‘St Andrew's Cross’, with Heraldic Scottish ‘Lion Rampant’, a popular pairing for independence banners of today (see another example - Flag of Scotland defaced with Royal Arms). Created from Royal Arms of the Kingdom of Scotland by ‘Sodacan’ and Flag of Scotland by ‘Kbolino’.
An earlier version of this composition has been adopted by the Scottish Labour Hub to represent a new direction for the Labour Party in Scotland. The banner, and variations thereof, have appeared around Scotland in marches for independence and elsewhere as evidenced in the reporting of the Craig Ferguson Walk from Glasgow to Munich for the finals of Euro 2024. The Saltire is also the background of flags and banners of other countries such as the Flag of Kraków, Poland.
