Like many I have a collection of flags ... Scotland, Union Flag, USA, France, Spain, Morocco and few more..
However, I have always been careful not to offend, and if flying the Saltire abroad would fly it bellow the nations own flag .. just as a matter of courtesy to my host nation.
What brought this to mind was a story I read today from Morocco where a man was jailed for six months flying the Israel flag .. .. seems a bit harsh.. so be ultra careful in Morocco ..

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4197729,00.htmlA Moroccan court sentenced a man who flew the Israeli flag over his home to six months in jail, Ynet leaned Saturday.
According to an Al-Arabiya report, Mohammed Jadidi, 42, raised the flag over his Nador home as means of protest against local authorities over the disconnection of electricity and water supplies to his residence.
Jadidi was arrested on Monday and was charged with "sacrilege" via the "undermining the Moroccan national flag."
