Retro Scotland Football Poster Jigsaw Puzzle
A white saltire crosses a deep navy field in this retro Scotland football design, dividing it into four triangles. Two colours, one diagonal cross, nothing else needed.

The saltire is the oldest graphic idea in this collection and still one of the best — two diagonals crossing a field, splitting it into four triangles that all point inward. It has an inevitability to it that straight-edged flags never quite achieve.
The navy is pushed deep, closer to ink than to royal blue, which lets the white read as paper showing through rather than as pigment laid on top. Everything is flat and hard-edged, and the lettering sits within the lower triangle, set condensed and slightly weathered. Print grain is heaviest where the diagonals meet.
Framed, it is bold and immediately legible. The diagonals give it energy that a horizontal composition cannot, and the dark ground means it holds its own on a pale wall without any help.
From the Football Poster Puzzles series, each nation given the same treatment.
Which size to pick
Piece count is the only real decision here
The artwork, the poster and the board are the same whichever of the three you choose. These are honest estimates for one person, poster face down — most people beat them once they start using the poster properly.

How it's built
A printed top layer over a thin wooden layer, bonded together
The print runs at full resolution with a low-glare finish, so the picture reads properly beside a lamp. The wooden layer does the structural work: it gives each piece weight in the hand, a definite snap on seating, and edges that stay clean after the puzzle has been built and broken down more than once.
Every single puzzle is assembled in full before it ships, then dismantled and boxed. That check is the only way to guarantee a complete count, and it is worth the extra step.
Quality control
Pre-assembled in full before packing, so the count is guaranteed.
Poster reference
Printed from the same file as the artwork.
Lettered backing
Optional guidance that never shows on the front.
Wooden-backed board
Thick enough to give each piece a definite snap on seating.
After the last piece
A beautiful work of art completed by you and your family
Create something special together, piece by piece, and enjoy the satisfaction of completing a beautiful work of art as a family.
The finished picture holds a wall on its own without needing anything hung beside it. No custom mount needed — the part that usually goes wrong with thin board is the lift, and the wooden backing keeps the sheet rigid while you work.
Designed with a secure interlocking fit, each piece locks firmly into place as you complete the puzzle—no glue needed. Once finished, your family’s creation becomes a beautiful work of art that can stand proudly on its own or be framed and displayed as a lasting piece of wall art.
