3x5 Nova Scotia Canadian Flag

The flag of Nova Scotia was created in 1858 and is based on provincial coat of arms which was granted to the Governor of the Province in 1625. It features a blue saltire on a white field (reversal of the flag of Scotland, Saint Andrew's cross) charged with an inescutcheon bearing the royal arms of Scotland, a gold shield with a red lion rampant surrounded by a royal double tressure (a double border decorated with fleurs de lis). It is the only Canadian province Flag dating back to before confederation.
