Summary
[edit]DescriptionAthelstaneford 14.jpg |
English: Athelstaneford is a village in East Lothian, Scotland. It lies almost six kilometres north-east of the market town of Haddington and about twenty-eight kilometres east of Edinburgh.
According to popular legend, Athelstaneford is where the original Scottish saltire - a white diagonal cross on a sky blue background - was first adopted. On the eve of a battle between rival armies of Picts and Northumbrians in 832AD, Saint Andrew, who was crucified on a diagonal cross, came to the Pictish King, presumed to be Óengus II, in a vision promising victory. The next morning the Picts saw a white cross formed by clouds in the sky. They won the battle and attributed their victory to the blessing of Saint Andrew, adopting his form of the cross as their flag, and naming him as their patron saint. Reputedly the leader of the retreating Angles, Athelstan, was said to have been slain at a nearby river crossing, hence the name Athelstaneford. However, it has been postulated that the English leader may have been the English King Æthelstan, who invaded Scotland in AD 934. Whatever the truth, the legend has cemented Athelstaneford's place in Scotland's history. The village is home to the ‘National Flag Heritage Centre’ which is situated behind the village kirk (parish church) and occupies a lectern-style doocot built in 1583 and rebuilt in 1996. The Scotch Mist Gallery contains many photographs of historic buildings, monuments and memorials of Poland.Polski: Galeria Mist Scotch zawiera wiele zdjęć zabytkowych budowli, pomników i miejsc pamięci w Polsce. |
