This is the nearest thing to it. Each Celtic country chooses a song to be entered in the annual Pan Celtic Festival, "Bénjad, who represented Cornwall in 2012 and 2013, became the first artist in the festival's history to have won twice." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Cel...

Once thought to be a 'Druid temple', Machuim appears to sit on top of an earlier cairn. Four massive stones still standing ‘overlooking’ Loch Tay with two large fallen, & small boulders in the circle. #StandingStoneSunday

The Saltire flutters gently above the St Andrew’s Day service at Athelstaneford. Rev Douglas Hamilton made the parallel that Andrew brought people together with Jesus and the Saltire brings us all together in an inclusive Scotland.
A beautiful message for our National Day. 🏴

🚨🚨 Huge news for Cornwall!
After months of pressing Ministers, the Government has offered a bespoke devolution deal that respects our national minority status, with NO joint authority with Devon - and hopefully no requirement for a directly elected mayor.
