About the flag
The Shetland Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this historic Scottish county.
Designed in 1969 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the transfer of Shetland from Norway to Scotland, the colours come from the Scottish flag, and the cross shape from Scandinavian tradition.
