Welcome to the Cruesbreck (formerly Holyrood) Flags blog! This blog has a very simple purpose, to chronicle and provide more information on the flags hung on my flagpoles at Cruesbreck House. I hope you enjoy!
My goal is to post about each flag that is hung on the flag pole at Cruesbreck House. I might do some pre posting and I might do some post posting, but I hope to get good information up about the flags flying.
Cruesbreck is the name of the house on a small island in the Orkney Islands of Scotland where my family came from many generations ago.
If you have questions, please send me a message at holyroodflags@gmail.com!
