It Was Written In The Clouds
Happy St Andrews day Folks
The legends say that in 832AD Óengus II on the eve of a battle at Athelstaneford against the Angles prayed to St Andrew to grant him victory against the bigger army , he would make St Andrew the Patron Saint of Scotland . On the moring of the battle the clouds made a cross shape that the Scots and picts thought was the crux decussata that St Andrew was crucified on and a sign of divine intervention and after the Scots and picts won the battle Óengus II kept his promise and St Andrew became the patron Saint of Scotland and the Saltire became our flag
