Description
The Royal Standard of the King of Scots, also known as the Royal Flag of Scotland or the Lion Rampant, is the flag used historically by the King of Scots. It remains the personal banner of the monarch and use of this flag is restricted under the Act of the Parliament of Scotland 1672.Despite the legal restrictions concerning the use of this flag, it is often regarded as a second, albeit unofficial, national flag for Scotland, most often seen at sporting events.
It was being flown and was photographed at this year's Bruce Festival which was held on August 15th & 16th in Scotland's Ancient Capital, Dunfermline in the beautiful grounds of Pittencrieff Park. This spectacular setting is in the shadow of Dunfermline Abbey, the final resting place of King Robert the Bruce.

Now where would the 'posh' bit be?
I am English by birth, but married a Fifer, from Cowdenbeath, and have lived in Scotland for over half my life, however, still a JUT, Jock Under Training

YAY! Cowdenbeath isn't far from me, I'm from Dalgety Bay (it & Aberdour were the 'posh' bit's at my school, Inverkeithing High). I've been to a few English places & likes them all but nothing makes me happier than seeing the 'Welcome to Scotland' sign on my way home...it's in my blood lol x

You will know when you are trouble - I will tell you, and, I don't believe that word has been mentioned by me yet, so carry on as you will. I normally read books when I go on holiday, so I can put them on my list.
