As I have already said I am proud to fly the Union Jack when I'm over the border at the air museum in England.
Sadly the Union Jack has become tainted in Scotland by its mis-appropriation as the flag of a certain soccer club and by religious bigotry which is why I would never raise it in Scotland.
Without in any way being political this is sadly also my experience with what is properly the Queen's Colour. Misappropriated and politicised by certain individuals and groups with a sectarian agenda within Scotland.
