just like the rampant lion is considered the second flag of scotland next to the saltire.when the rampant lion is the flag of the queen while she is in scotland.I think if most scots knew this, they would not fly the rampant lion, for fear of beeing seen as a loyalist.
What a GREAT post! And it applies to MUCH more than the Scottish Rampant Lion flag. It's exactly the same with the tartans.... with the BIG difference being that we're mobile with our display. Again, it's where you're at, and what you know.
Your areas not exactly a bastion of knowledge in Celtic tradition? You're pretty much going to be able to wear what YOU DETERMINE IS PROPER. Just like that flag... a tartan may look cool, but there's a meaning behind it. It's up to your educated mind on what you display, on your flagpole or on your backside.
Great point and example Phil!
thanx
