The Saltire (Picture Slideshow)


East Lothian, birthplace of the national flag in 832 AD, celebrated St. Andrew's Day with a programme of free events on Sunday 29 November.

The Saltire was escorted by horse riders from Athelstaneford - where it was adopted 1500 years ago - to St. Mary's Kirk, Haddington, for a candlelight ceremony followed by a torchlight procession to Haddington's ancient High Street for a party around the Mercat Cross. The day's events ended with an evening concert celebrating aspects of our heritage through music and literature.
