Flag of Shetland, public domain, from Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Shetland.svg

Flag reated by Roy Grønneberg and Bill Adams in 1969, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the transfer of the islands from Norway in the Kalmar Union to Scotland and the 500 years before as part of Norway. After almost forty years of unofficial use, the flag was formally granted by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, the heraldic authority of Scotland, on 1 February 2005. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Shetland
