The Second Day of Christmas

Two Scottish flags
and Christmas Songs by Carl Peterson

The Royal Standard of Scotland, also called the Rampant Lion. The lion has been used as a heraldic device by the Kings of Scotland since William I of Scotland in the 12th century. The Rampant Lion appears to have been used first by Alexander II (1214-1249). The rampant lion stands erect, on it's hind legs, with it's head in profile and forelegs extended.

The National Flag of Scotland is the cross of St. Andrew, also known as the Saltire. It is said to be one of the oldest national flags of any country. The official use of this flag, as a national emblem, dates from the 16th Century.

We have flags, stickers, blankets, key rings, lanyards, patches, and many more gifts using these two flags! Lion Rampant flags here and St Andrews flags here.

St Andrew's Day

November 30th is St. Andrew's Day! This is the feast day of Saint Andrew.

Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, and St. Andrew's Day (Latha Naomh Anndra) is Scotland's official national day.

Long Island Scottish Festival

We were at the Long Island Scottish Festival yesterday, and there were more people there than expected. It went rather well, despite rain on and off during the day, and threat from the approaching Hurricane Irene.

We left around 2:30pm, along with other vendors (several vendors had opted to not come at all), and made it out of Long Island before Irene officially arrived. In fact, considering the news reports of mandatory evacuations, it was a surprisingly easy drive west, across Manhattan, into New Jersey and home to Pennsylvania.
