The Saltire doesn't belong to one group, it belongs to us all. It's a symbol that welcomes all who call Scotland their home, not a symbol to try and shut people out.

In 2023, Shmuel drove to the Gaza border to meet his partner, Dennis — a combat soldier and company commander.
There, Shmuel got down on one knee and proposed.
He presented Dennis with a ring from the “Adir’s Diamond” project, created in memory of Adir Messika, who was murdered by terrorists at the Nova music festival after saving seven lives.
Adir’s father chose to honor his son’s legacy by sanctifying life — helping couples begin their journey of building families together.
💍 Mazal Tov to the beautiful couple!
