Historically the Lion Rampant would be the flag of the Kings of Scotland and as such would fly at Royal residences, castles etc. Now that we are the "United Kingdom" and Scotland does not have Her own Royalty, the flag will be used on the Queens residences - but they also fly the Saltire.

There is no legal restriction on the use of the Lion Rampant - my inlaws fly one when we return for a visit...! The Saltire is more common, though.
