Responsibility for the upkeep and operating costs of the HERITAGE CENTRE and the SALTIRE MEMORIAL lies with the Scottish Flag Trust, a registered charity, under the stewardship of Lord Wemyss. Nigel Tranter and Dr Allan Macartney.

To enable funds to be raised for this purpose, a ' Friends of the Scottish Flag Trust ' organisation has been established. ' Friends ' give their support for the work of the Trust by way of an annual subscription of 10 UK pounds ( minimum ), and in return receive a newsletter, and have their names added to the richly decorated Book of the Saltire which is on display within Athelstaneford Church.

Scotland's national flag,
the St Andrew's Cross or Saltire
is the oldest in Europe.
It was adopted following a battle fought in 832AD,
near Athelstaneford in East Lothian.
