Yes Shampain!! The flag of Scotland is in that design!
It comes from a diagonal cross brother
Origins of the Saltire

The Scottish flag is almost 500 years old, but the story of its origins pre-dates this; all the way back to biblical times.


In 60 AD, Saint Andrew (later known as the Patron Saint of Scotland) was crucified. Legend has it that he felt unworthy of being crucified on a cross similar to one Jesus Christ had died on, so it was arranged he would be crucified on a diagonal cross, also known as a saltire. Some historians believe there is an alternative theory to this; that St Andrew was instead crucified by the Romans in Greece, where this diagonal cross was more commonly used. The story also has it that St Andrew commonly wore blue robes, and it was the blue robe against the white wood of the crucifix which inspired the design of the Scottish flag.
