Highland Flag?

[macwilkin]

In Scotland all flags, banners and such, are regulated by the authority of the Lord Lyon. Back in the days when there were counties in Scotland each county had it's own coat of arms, and many county councils did, indeed, fly their own heraldic flag.

I'm not sure I see the need for a "Highland Flag". Aside from the fact that "The Highlands" is a terribly imprecise term both geographically and politically (rather like the term "the American west"), there already exisits in this region a plethora of flags-- various governmental department flags, municipal flags, corporate flags, flags of clan chiefs and flags of armigers; the Royal flag, the Royal Standard, and of course the national flag of Scotland.

The purpose of a flag is to unify and define-- something I rather doubt this flag could achieve.

Thanks for the insights -- again, I was really only hoping for more information on the flag itself, not a discussion of it.

I think I'll contact the UK Vexillogical Association and see what they know.

With that it would seem that this thread has run its course.

Thread closed.
