Saltire Festival 2016 comes to Prestonpans November 24th & 25th

The details of this exceptional festival, celebrating the Saltire's appearance in the sky at the Battle of Athelstaneford, after which it became our National Flag, will be fully available soon, but make a diary note now for the two/ split Premiere of this new way of understanding our battle in 1745.



... and the flagpole on the Battle Bing will not show the Prince's Red Battle Flag for the Festival's duration, rather the Saltire will fly. It joins that other exception when for a week the Hanoverian Union Flag flies in honour of the redcoats who lost!. But the Prince's flag was back again soon after ...at sunrise!
