Why is St Andrew the patron saint of Scotland. Scotland has their own saints in St Ninian and St Margaret.?
Saint Andrew, Patron Saint of Scotland

After all the other home countries all have one of their own as patron saint. England, St George. Wales, St David. Ireland, St Patrick.


Actually St George wasn't English, and St Patrick wasn't Irish either. Interestingly enough Scotland are the only nation in the UK to have an apostle as their patron saint.

Nobody is really sure why Andrew was chosen as Saint, but according to legend the Saltire is meant to represent white clouds on a blue sky, and goes back to a battle with our southern neighbours when the Scottish leader prayed to St Andrew for a sign they'd be victorious in battle. The aforementioned clouds appeared in the sky & he's been our saint ever since.

Personally speaking I would rather it was someone like St Ninian or even St Columba (from the "motherland" of the Scotti) butt hat's the way it is.

As for St Margaret....she was Hungarian wasn't she?

St Andrew - Scotland's Patron Saint


History of St Andrew and his relationship with Scotland.

why is St. Andrew the Patron Saint of Army Rangers?
Milan, St Andrews Amalfi mosaic, St Andrew's Chapel, Westminster Cathedral

my boyfriendd is about to leave and i want to get him something...so i had decided on St. Christopher (protection) but then i heard that St. Andrew was their patron saint...i really wanna know why.


I have never heard of that shi*t before and I've served with the 75th Ranger Regiment for four years.

I saw it listed on Wikipedia when I researched it...

Patronage:

Scotland, Russia, Sicily, Greece, Romania, Amalfi, Luqa (Malta) and Prussia; Army Rangers, mariners, fishermen, fishmongers, rope-makers, singers and performers

That's retarded. If there was actually any truth / active practice regarding St. Andrew and Army Rangers, I would know about it. As for a gift, get him a man's gift: buy him a gun or knife.

The Scots don't celebrate this day , they favour Rabbie Burns with the haggis neeps and tatties ,none of them are even public holidays.
