Flag: yellow with a blue cross centered with arms of 1/5 flagheight; in
top hoist in yellow a black horn with a red cord.
The blue cross reminds of the Augustine monastery as well as the four
canals converging in Burgum. The fish symbolizes fishing in the Burgumermar,
and also Christianity - symbol of Christ. The horn refers to the arms of
the municipal division of Trynwâlden and to the nobility which used
to live in Burgum. The tree is a symbol of the forest in the environment;
the trees have economic value because of tree cultivation and the barking
mill, which alas has disappeared.
