You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

<!-- EDIT BELOW THIS LINE -->

The '''national symbols of Scotland''' are flags, [[icon]]s or cultural expressions that are emblematic, representative or otherwise characteristic of Scotland or [[Culture of Scotland|Scottish culture]]. As a rule, these national symbols are [[cultural icon]]s that have emerged out of Scottish folklore and tradition, meaning few have any official status. However, most if not all maintain recognition at a national or international level, and some, such as the [[Royal Arms of Scotland]], have been codified in [[heraldry]], and are established, official and recognised symbols of Scotland.

==Flags==
{{main|List of Scottish flags}}
{|class="wikitable"
|-
| [[File:Flag of Scotland.svg|100px]]
| The national [[flag of Scotland]], the Saltire or St. Andrew's Cross, dates (at least in legend) from the 9th century, and is thus the oldest national [[flag]] still in use. The Saltire now also forms part of the design of the [[Union Flag]].
|-
| <!--[[File:Banner_of_the_King_of_Scots.svg|100px]]-->
| The [[Royal Standard of Scotland]], a [[Flag|banner]] showing the [[Royal Arms of Scotland]], is also frequently to be seen, particularly at sporting events involving a Scottish team. Often called the [[Lion Rampant]] (after its chief [[heraldic]] device), it is technically the property of the monarch and its use by anybody else is illegal, although this is almost universally ignored, and never enforced.
|}

== Heraldry ==
{{main|Scottish heraldry}}

{|class="wikitable"
|-
| <!--[[File:Royal_Arms_of_the_Kingdom_of_Scotland.svg|100px]]-->
| The [[Royal Arms of Scotland]]<ref>{{harvnb|Jamieson|1998|pp=14–15}}.</ref> is a [[coat of arms]] symbolising Scotland and the [[List of Scottish monarchs|Scottish monarchs]]. The ''[[blazon]]'', or technical description, is "Or, a lion rampant Gules armed and langued Azure within a double tressure flory counter-flory of the second", meaning a red lion with blue tongue and claws on a yellow field and surrounded by a red double royal tressure flory counter-flory device

Although officially subsumed into the heraldry of the [[British Royal Family]] in 1707, the historic Royal Arms featuring the lion rampant continues to represent Scotland on several [[coins of the pound sterling]], forms the basis of several emblems of Scottish national sports teams (such as the [[Scotland national football team]]),and endures as one of the most recognisable national symbols of Scotland
|-
| <!--[[File:Scottish_Thistle_(Heraldry).svg|100px]]-->
| The [[thistle]], the [[national emblem|floral emblem]] of Scotland, also features in Scottish & British heraldry through symbols, logos, coat of arms and on British currency.
|-
| <!--[[File:Crest_of_the_Kingdom_of_Scotland.svg|100px]]-->
| The [[Honours of Scotland]], the Scottish Crown Jewels, are displayed in the [[Edinburgh Castle#The Crown Room|Crown Room of Edinburgh Castle]], from where they are removed only for State Occasions. Stylised versions of the [[Crown of Scotland]] appear upon the badges of the [[Royal Regiment of Scotland]], those of the [[List of police forces in the United Kingdom#Scotland|Scottish Police Forces]], the [[Scottish Ambulance Service]] and upon [[Royal Mail]] premises, vehicles and [[Pillar box|pillar]]/[[Wall box|wall]] boxes in Scotland.
|-
| <!--[[File:Coat_of_Arms_of_the_Lord_Lyon_King_of_Arms.svg|100px]]-->
| The [[Lord Lyon King of Arms]] is a [[Great Officer of State#Scotland|Great Officer of State in Scotland]] and is the Scottish official with responsibility for regulating heraldry, issuing new grants of arms, and serving as the judge of the [[Court of the Lord Lyon]], the oldest heraldic court in the world that is still in daily operation.

==Anthem==
{{main|National Anthem of Scotland}}
Scotland has no official national anthem. There are several candidates, however:

* ''[[Scotland the Brave]]''
* ''[[Highland Cathedral]]''
* ''[[Scots Wha Hae]]''
* ''[[A Man's A Man for A' That]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8449939.stm|title=Games team picks new Scots anthem|publisher=BBC||date=9 January 2010}}</ref>
