Flag of Nova Scotia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The flag of Nova Scotia, created in 1625, is a banner of the provincial arms.
The flag of the Canadian province, a blue saltire on a white field, is a simple figure-ground reversal of the flag of Scotland (a white saltire, Saint Andrew's cross, on a blue field), charged with an inescutcheon bearing the royal arms of Scotland, a gold shield with a red lion rampant surrounded by a royal double tressure (a double border decorated with fleurs de lis).
The flag ranked #12 in the North American Vexillological Association's survey of North American state and provincial flags. [1]
Nova Scotia was the only Canadian colony to be granted its own flag by the British charter. It is therefore the only flag of a Canadian province dating back to before confederation.
