    It flys every day of the year in all the Capitals on mainland Britain i think. I may be wrong though. Just realised in Scotland capital they don't fly it outside everyday of the year but instead they have it in the council chambers every day of the year instead and fly it outside on designated days.

    Although prior to 2007 it was limited to certain days of the year.

    Sorry mcc but in Glasgow the Saltire is flown on all public buildings every day of the year including Police stations(sometimes alongside the Union flag tbh)! I have'nt seen it 'flown' inside any public building (not the ones I've been in anyway).

    The only one in the Glasgow area I know where it is flown everyday is Rutherglen Town Hall. I have no idea why
