Scotland celebrates St. Andrew's Day as its national day. St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, and St. Andrew's Day falls on November 30th. The day is a celebration of Scottish culture, heritage, and the contributions of St. Andrew to the country.
While it's not a public holiday in Scotland, St. Andrew's Day is marked with various events and festivities, including traditional music and dance, parades, and the lighting of bonfires. The Saltire, the national flag of Scotland, features a white diagonal cross on a blue background, representing the cross on which St. Andrew is believed to have been crucified. The Saltire is prominently displayed during the celebrations.
