Up the pole

Are we really such an insecure people in Scotland that we need three Saltires occupying all the flagpoles plus a large board with another Saltire as we cross the border on the A1 at Lamberton coming North?

Going south, we see a Union Jack, the flag of Northumberland and the St George’s cross on three flagpoles. Which gives the more confident picture of who we are on either side of the Border? ALISON FULLARTON Lumsdaine, Eyemouth
