The Scottish Government apologises for the late publication of this advice as although there are no prohibition on the use of most flags we are conscious that many public and private bodies follow our guidance.
Royal events are treated differently from other events as the use of the Royal Banner is restricted to a limited number of people, such as the First Minister.
On all days not listed above, the Saltire and the Flag of Europe (if the building has a 2nd flagpole) shall be the only flags flown on all Scottish Government buildings. If possible on days D, E, F and G additional flagpoles will be used to fly the additional flags.
