We don't know them yet, but the options in the Bothwell Flag Competition have been decided! Voting later this year and unveiling early next year.
The Court's Vexillologist returned to Bothwell today for the next step in their community flag competition; the judging panel. It took over 4 hours of deliberation to get through all the entries, with a huge number submitted by the local schools. Voting will open later this year.
