Scottish Flags were put up by an individual in Coldstream to cheer us all up during the Covid outbreak when we should have been celebrating our civic week but could not.

As Coldstream is the “ first true border toon” it is entirely appropriate that Scottish flags should fly proudly in Henderson Park and tourists and residents have been pleased to enjoy these flags.

the individual who put up the flags received instructions from the council to remove them based on one complaint. Facebook is alive with locals furious at the removal of the flags and we would like the council to reconsider based on wider opinion.
