National symbols
The national flag of Scotland, known as the Saltire or St. Andrews Cross, dates from the 9th century, and is thus the oldest national flag still in use. There are numerous other symbols and symbolic artefacts, both official and unofficial, including the thistle, the nations floral emblem, the 6 April 1320 statement of political independence the Declaration of Arbroath, the textile pattern tartan that often signifies a particular Scottish clan, and the Lion Rampant flag.
Flower of Scotland is popularly held to be the National Anthem of Scotland, and is played at events such as football or rugby matches involving the Scotland national team. Scotland the Brave is used for the Scottish team at the Commonwealth Games. However, since devolution, more serious discussion of the issue has led to the use of Flower of Scotland being disputed.
St Andrews Day, 30 November, is the national day, although Burns Night tends to be more widely observed. Tartan Day is a recent innovation from Canada.
