7 Flags One Heart & Soul
The St Andrew's flag, known as The Saltire, is a national emblem of Scotland since 1286. The legend accounts that the St. Andrew's cross appeared in the sky to help the Scots to win a battle against the Angles, hence the colours of the white cross over the blue flag.
The Tricolour was
used by the Young Ireland movement in 1848, inspired on the French flag.
It was not until the Rising of 1916, when it was raised above the
General Post Office in Dublin, that the tricolour came to be regarded as
the national flag.
Green
symbolises the national colour of Ireland, white is for Peace and orange
is the colour of the Protestant settlers in Ireland. The Green Flag was
the unofficial national flag from 1798 until the early years of the 20th
century.
Y Ddraig Goch, The Red Dragon. It is believed that the dragon was adopted from the standards of the Roman army.
The white and green field is a reminder of the colours of the Welsh Tudor royalty.
The Three Legs of Man appeared for first time around 1230 on the Manx Sword of State.
The Mann's Trinacria (3 legs) is thought to have been brought from Sicily, Italy, by the Norse rulers of Mann.
Gwenn-ha-Du, White and Black. Inspired by the flag of the USA, nine alternating equal black and white stripes standing for the Breton and Gallo speaking counties respectively, and eleven ermine spots representing the Duchy of Brittany.
The Galician flag has its origin in the 19th century Corunna Navy saltire flag flown on the ships transporting Gallegan emigrants to America.
Believing it was the flag of Galicia, it was used first by Gallegan emigrants and adopted later on in the motherland.
The black flag with a white cross is the banner of Saint Piran, the patron saint of the tin-miners of Cornwall.
