Flying the Saltire

[Hamish]

Alex, I cannot answer for the Scottish Laws but, down here in England, I understand that we have to apply for Planning Permission from the local authority to erect a flag pole on our private property. As with obtaining PP to alter one's home, the process can take many months and, in the case of flag poles applications are, more often than not, refused. This is why there are very few flags of any kind seen flying on private property down here!!

I wish t'were otherwise.

i need to replace my Fading US Coast Guard flag (im such a bad coastie) with a new flag and i was thinking of Flying the Saltire.

Here's an interesting question:

Would the Saltire beflown below or level with the Union Flag? If below, would it fly level with the US flag or below it but equal with state flags? I ask because US states and the countries of the UK seem to be in analagous positions, dependent, subordinate, and discrete political units.

Anyone know?

You need to fly only one at a time. Otherwise you're guilty of showing a double standerd in public.

National flags are flown as equals. I think that it would be equal with the Saltire and Union due to the nature of the organization. But I do not know for sure.
