  1. 500 years old
    • According to 2 sources
    The Scottish flag is almost 500 years old, but the story of its origins pre-dates this; all the way back to biblical times. In 60 AD, Saint Andrew (later known as the Patron Saint of Scotland) was crucified.
    If the flag being almost 500 years old seems pretty impressive, you're about to be even more impressed because the use of the white saltire cross as scottish icon/emblem dates back to the 13th and 14th Century. It was approved as the flag/badge of the Scottish people in a statute made in 1388.
