Gotland (Gutland in Gutnish), also historically spelled Gottland or Gothland, is Sweden's largest island. It is also a province/county (Swedish län), municipality, and diocese. The province includes the islands of Fårö and Gotska Sandön to the north, as well as the Karlsö Islands (Lilla and Stora) to the west.
The flag of Gotland is a banner of arms. Gotland was granted its arms in about 1560. The county was granted the same coat of arms in 1936. The municipality, created in 1971, uses the same picture, but with other tinctures.
