Notes:
The Denny and Dunipace Flag is a community flag
proclaiming the unique identity of this Stirlingshire town.
Denny and
Dunipace was the first town in Scotland to hold a competition to select a town
flag.
The wavy blue and white lines evoke the river Carron, which
separates and unites Dunipace (north) and Denny (south).
The two towers
of the castle recall the twin settlements.
The castle also symbolises the
river’s name, which perhaps originates from Gaelic ‘caer avon’ or ‘river of
forts’.
The eleven-pointed star represents the eleven mills that stood
here in the mid eighteenth century.
The colours reflect those of the
former civic arms, the white in particular marking the important treaties signed
here.
