National Flag of Scotland Saint Andrew's Cross Playing Cards

Display your love of Scotland with these playing cards clad in the National Flag of Scotland. Also known as the Saint Andrew's Cross or the Saltire (Bratach na h-Alba in Scottish Gaelic) the “Banner O’ Scotland” is a white, X-shaped St. Andrew’s cross (St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland) on a deep blue background which represents the sky above a 9th-century battle where a white saltire supposedly appeared and roused the troops to a decisive victory over the Angles.
