Historical evidence suggests that the Scottish Union Flag was used unofficially in the Kingdom of Scotland during the 17th C. and existed, at least within documents and some sections of popular culture, in post-Union Scotland until at least the middle of the 19th C. This variant was the product of a popular negative reaction within sections of Scottish society towards that design of Union flag adopted by English Heralds in 1606, following the Union of the Crowns; James VI, King of Scots, having acceded to the thrones of England and Ireland as King James I in 1603.
