Cornwall



Cornwall's flag appears above. The white is thought to represent "tin" and the black represents the "ore" from which tin is processed. Legend has it that St. Piran adopted these colors because he saw the white of tin emerge from black ashes in his discovery of tin (this is St.  Piran's flag). Symbolically, the white of the flag is considered to be the light of truth shinning through the blackness of evil.
