Scotland Flag (Rampant Lion) 3 by 5 foot polyester flag.
The Royal Standard of Scotland, also known as the Royal Standard of the King of Scots or more commonly The Lion Rampant is the flag used historically by the King of Scots.
It is a banner of the Royal Coat of Arms of the former Kingdom of Scotland. The Lion is commonly thought to have been adopted in the early 12th century by William I (known as "William the Lion"), but there is no evidence of its use as "the Arms of Dominion of Scotland" before 1222, when it appeared in the seal of his son, Alexander II. An earlier recorded Scottish Royal standard featured a dragon, which is known to have been used at the Battle of the Standard in 1138 by David I. It has also been suggested (see here) that The Royal Arms of Scotland were first devised by King Malcolm III Canmore in 1061.
The flag is a red lion rampant within a red double tressure flory counter-flory on a yellow field, specified in heraldry as "Or, a lion rampant Gules armed and langued Azure within a double tressure flory counter-flory Gules".
This flag is used as a second unofficial national flag for Scotland (particularly at sporting events). (Wikipedia)
