Jane McGarry aka Isa from Still Game “A lot of people’s submissions featured the military because the history of the barracks is still very important to people.” A number of submissions featured local side Partick Thistle’s colours, she added. The winning flag will be recognised by the Court of the Lord Lyon, the body which guarantees the flag’s status in Scots law. “We had a lot of local entries but some from Canada, Australia, Sweden and even one from Thailand,” said Nicola. It is hoped the winning flag, to be decided by a public vote, as well as the runners up will be revealed and celebrated with an event at the Halls when restrictions are lifted.
