    Where did the Scots flag come from?
    According to legend, the origins of the flag date to a battle in 832 AD. Scots, aided by Picts, faced an army of Angles. The Scots were inspired to victory by the appearance of a white saltire, resembling the cross on which St. Andrew was crucified, against the blue sky. The blue and white colors have become deeply symbolic of Scotland’s identity.

    Why does Scotland have a blue flag?
    This navy blue colour trend was adopted for the Saltire itself by many flag manufacturers, resulting in a variety of shades of blue being depicted on the flag of Scotland ranging from "sky blue" to "royal blue" to "navy blue". Eventually, this situation resulted in calls to standardise the colour of Scotland's national flag.
