Back in a couple of hundred AD, King Angus and his picts/scots were having a punch-up with the Angles. Things weren't going well and they were surrounded and outnumbered. That night King Angus supposedly had a vision of St Andrew (who was martyred on the cross). The next morning in a clear blue sky was a white cross. (kinda like the thing you see from the back of aircraft, but obviously not back then) His men saw this as a sign and won the battle.
A Saltire flag or image isn't recorded as appearing until several hundred years later, but I'm not sure where.
