The Flag of Scotland, (Scottish Gaelic: Bratach na h-Alba, Scots: Banner o Scotland), also known as St Andrew's Cross or the Saltire, is the national flag of Scotland. As the national flag, the Saltire, rather than the Royal Standard of Scotland, is the correct flag for all individuals and corporate bodies to fly. It is also, where possible, flown from Scottish Government buildings every day from 8am until sunset, with certain exceptions.

Even before Gatesâ speech, the U.S. had called for a long time on its European allies to increase military spending. NATO in fact agreed years ago that its members should spend 2 percent of GDP on defense, but todayâs Europe has reorganized its budget priorities, and defense is not one of them.ow, the U.S. again is calling on NATOâs European members to increase military spending. But the Europeans, still reeling from the 2008 financial crisis, just do not have the money to do that. Economic and foreign policy experts say they will keep spending, in percentage, far less than the U.S. on their militaries.
