Former flag of
Orkney
,
Scotland
My own vector of the former (unofficial) flag, created using Inkscape. It is a red Nordic Cross on a yellow field in the form of the Cross of St Magnus . The flag resembled the flags of both the ancient Kalmar Union and Irish Province of Ulster to such a degree that the Lyon Court refused to grant this particular design official status. As a result, it remained the unofficial flag of Orkney for many years. In 2007 however, the inhabitants of Orkney held a ballot to determine an official design for a flag to represent the Islands of Orkney. The new flag was designed in consultation with the Lyon Court and was selected from a shortlist of 5 which were put to a ballot. For the winning design, see Flag of Orkney . |
