Flag UK: Scotland Lion Rampant

Rampant Lion (Scotland) Flag 4x6" Mounted.
The Lion Rampant flag is also called the Royal Flag of Scotland - having been used by the Kings of Scotland, with the first King to have done so being Alexander II (1214-1249). It is much older than the St Andrew's flag and should now only be used by the Queen in her role as the Queen of Scotland.
The Lion Rampant flag is widely used as a second national flag especially at football matches and rugby games - although permission must be sought if the flag is to be run up and flown from a flagpole or from a building.
It technically remains an offence for citizens and corporate bodies to fly or wave the lion rampant flag under the 1672 Act of Parliament because the rampant lion flag is not a national flag.
However the law is much more relaxed in modern times. This can be traced back to when King George V gave permission to his subjects in the year 1935 to wave small lion rampant flags during celebrations of his silver jubilee.
