THIS IS SCOTLAND

SCOTLAND MAIN FACTS


St. Andrew's Day - the National day of Scotland


St Andrew's Day is celebrated in Scotland on 30 November, in honour of St Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland.
St. Andrew was one of Christ's twelve apostles. Some of his bones are said to have been brought to what is now St. Andrews in Fife during the 4th century.

St Andrew's flag
Since medieval times the X-shaped saltire cross upon which St. Andrew was supposedly crucified has been the Scottish    national symbol.                                            











The national dress of Scotland is a kilt with shirt, waistcoat and tweed jacket, stockings with garter flashes, brogue shoes and a sporran.
