The Isles of Scilly (/ˈsɪli/ SIL-ee; Standard Written Form: Syllan, Enesek Syllan, or Enesow Syllan) are a small archipelago off the southwestern tip of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
The Scillonian Cross (Cornish: Baner Syllan) is a unitary authority flag created in 2002 for the Isles of Scilly. The flag was designed by the Scilly News, and received positive support from its readers in a popular vote, leading to it being officially registered with the Flag Institute as the official flag for the islands.
Description[]
The flag's design consists of a white cross over an orange and blue background, with five white stars in the upper-right canton.
Symbolism[]
Each part of the design represents a significant element for Isles of Scilly: the upper orange colour represents the orange-hued sunsets the islands are known for; the lower blue colour represents the surrounding sea around the isles; while the stars represent the isles' locations.
