Selected in 2021 after a public competition, the flag represents a narrowboat on the Forth & Clyde Canal with two blue bands representing the canal and the river Kelvin, red alluding to community passion, and black symbolising Maryhill’s industrial past.

A public event at Maryhill Burgh Hills saw the Lord Lyon, as heraldic authority in Scotland, hand over the letters patent to two members of the local community.

Dr Morrow said: “I was delighted to have the honour to launch the new Maryhill flag by the presentation of the letters patent granting the flag to the community.

“The occasion was a celebration of the people of Maryhill and their strong value of community. This flag is a sign of the future of Maryhill.”
