After the launch of the Flag of Caithness last year, it seems that the neighbours are jealous (as well they might be). A competition is to be lunched for a county flag for Sutherland, according to the Northern Times.
Good luck to them.

I hope it doesn't portray an English Galleon like the Caithness flag. It should've been a longship.
Any design will be better than the Caithness flag.
Am trying to figure out what the saying on the bottom of your post means?Quote:

(The Flag Institute have picked up on it, and it looks better in the better resolution on their site: https://www.flaginstitute.org/wp/flags/sutherland/
I see in the Scottie some very negative comments, but I have to say it looks stunning. It is very different from the run of most flags - striking and with local resonance.
Now for Ross-shire...
It's one that's been commandeered by Vikings.Quote:

Hopefully it won't look as crap as the Caithness flag.

There's a new East Lothian County Flag too as of yesterday.
So, will Ross-shire have a competition? Or Cromartyshire?
