Tour Scotland Video Saltire Flag Balhousie Castle

Tour Scotland video of the Saltire, the flag of Scotland, flying over Balhousie Castle, Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The Flag of Scotland, called The Saltire or Saint Andrew's Cross, is a blue field with a white saltire. According to tradition, it represents Saint Andrew, who is supposed to have been crucified on a cross of that form, called a crux decussata, at Patras. The Saltire appears in numerous flags, including those of Scotland and Jamaica, and other coats of arms and seals. A variant, also appearing on many past and present flags and symbols, is the Cross of Burgundy.
