Best of Scotland…

Filed Under About Fair Flags, M&S | 3 Comments

This was a label I spotted at Mark’s and Spencer the other day on a pack of beef mince. “Best of Scotland” in a rosette with a Saltire background. Right next to that were some other packs of minced beef marked with the Union Flag – which I suspect originated in England. Didn’t have my camera with me unfortunately.

Scotland is part of the Union – so why are Scottish produced goods marked Scottish with the Saltire? While those from other home nations are promoted under the Union Flag?
