Tradition says that when the PicLs and Scots were hard pressed by the Saxons they prayed to St. Andrew for help, and, seeing in the blue sky a white cross formed by the clouds, they took this as an answer of victory, and, rushing into battle, defeated their foes. After the victory they adopted the St. Andrew's Cross'as their emblem.
