The community of St. Andrews, as such, has no flag. There is no demand for
one, as the people here (regardless of political persuasion) see the
Scottish saltire flag as being, in a sense, their
own too, because of the links between St. Andrew and St. Andrews, so it is the
one flown over the Town Hall. The University of St. Andrews has a banner of its
arms which is flown on special occasions. The Community Council would be
entitled to do likewise but, not owning any flagpoles, has not. When the
International Congress of Heraldry and Genealogy was held in St. Andrews (in
2006 I think) both bodies were presented with elaborate and beautiful gonfanons,
based on their arms, and designed by a heraldic expert who lives locally. They
are so valuable that they are seldom in use.

I was told it was by Royal permission that this special defaced ensign was
flown, honoring the 500+ year old golf course, club house (apparently built by
the Masons), and its long history.
