Saltire through the arch - Cathedral ruins, St. Andrews, Scotland

The actual word 'Saltire' means a cross with diagonal bars of equal length' and the national flag of Scotland is made up of a white saltire (aka St. Andrews' Cross) on a blue background. First hoisted in 1512, it's believed to be one of the oldest flags in the world still in use today.

Your visit and kind words are much appreciated Rosa. We have a little blue sky but with cold winds today, but at least non of the heavy rain as in the southeast.

Best regards, Doug

Thanks very much for the kind comment Jean. I had take quite a few shot trying to get the one with the flag as shown, the wind was rather gusty.

All the best, Doug
