The Union Flag was originally a Royal flag. When the present design was made official in 1801, it was ordered to be flown on all the King's forts and castles, but not elsewhere.

Also interesting to note is that the red diagonals aren't centred within the white, which means it's possible (and surprisingly common) for people to fly it upside down by accident.
