    Saltire in the Sky over Scotland


    As I returned home across the border from Carlisle today, appropriately there was a Saltire in the sky above Scotland!
    This view was taken with the camera resting on the bridge parapet on the English bank of the Kershope Burn, with the camera looking across into Scotland, over which two jet planes have formed a saltire a few minutes before I reached the border.

    Very nice. Perhaps Holyrood can appropriate some money to have those float in the sky for the length of the border? ith:

    That is nicely seen!

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon
