About the flag

The Banffshire Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this historic Scottish county.

The flag consists of a stylised sun on horizontal bands of orange (above) and blue (below).

Together they evoke Banffshire’s famed coast, rivers and sunsets, and also its agriculture and whisky.

Between them is a white horizontal band forming a stylised bridge.

This evokes the bridges — from ancient inland crossings to mighty coastal viaducts — that are such a defining feature of the Banffshire landscape.

The designer of the Banffshire Flag is Ellie Stewart of Portessie Primary School, who took part in the flag-raising at Castle Hill, Cullen on Saturday 28 October.
