A little-known link between St Andrews and Ukraine could lead to the eastern European country’s flag being flown over a local landmark as a show of support following the Russian invasion.

Many buildings across the UK have opted to fly the blue and yellow Ukrainian flag to champion the country’s cause after Russian forces launched their military offensive last week.

St Andrews Museum could soon become the latest to follow suit, if a request by local Councillor Jane Ann Liston is approved in the coming days.

The Liberal Democrat councillor was surprised to learn that the museum’s base in Kinburn House was actually named after an area in the south of Ukraine and is keen to see the flag flown in support of Ukraine above Kinburn Park.
