The Scottish Red Ensign was in use until 1707. It looked just like the present Merchant Navy Red Ensign, but bore a Scottish saltire instead of a Union Flag. (Some Scots will be seen using it today on their private craft!!).

Currently...
White Ensign - Royal Navy
Red Ensign - Merchany Navy
Blue Ensign - Royal Navy Reserve, and some yacht clubs.
