Hi Alastair, and members
You have just put up a book about 'Historical Tales of the Wars of Scotland'
There is a very interesting section about the present day Flag of Scotland.
It can be found from the main link, http://www.electricscotland.com/history/wars/ by scrolling down to and selecting:-
2 Battle of Athelstaneford - 800
Page 2 Paragraph starting 'It is proper to notice' and continue on page 3 as far as line 5 ending with the word 'Thistle'.
I have been down in that area several times, and remember that there was some reference to the history of the flag. I think it was a video inside the building.
There is also reference on the village web site:
