	Scotsman.com News - St Andrew's Cross - Saltire hijacked by US far-right group
		The starry rebel cross of Old Dixie, the flag of the breakaway southern states, was modelled on the Saltire, and the white rebels in the deep south have mythologised their imagined Scottish heritage ever since.
		ACCORDING to legend, the Saltire appeared as a good omen in 832AD, just as King Angus mac Fergus was about to lead his army of Scots and Picts into battle against the overwhelming force of the invading Northumbrians in what is now East Lothian.
		The Saltire’s design is said to have originated from the story of how the apostle Andrew successfully petitioned the Roman authorities who had sentenced him to death not to crucify him on the same shape of cross as Christ.
