The flag of Banffshire is an orange background with two unequal horizontal bands of white and blue, with five discs of orange and white in-between the white and blue bands. Near the hoist on the orange band is a white sun.
Symbolism[]
The white horizontal band recalls the bridges that are emblematic of this narrow county with rivers running through it and along its borders; from ancient in-land river crossings to the mighty industrial viaducts along the coast. As such the blue color can represent both the rivers and the sea, whilst the golden-orange below the bridge represents the whisky made from the county's waters and above the bridge the sun symbolizes the natural sunsets and agriculture.
