The Scottish Thistle: The Legend and Meaning
The Scottish Thistle is more than just a national flower—it's a powerful symbol of resilience and national pride. As the oldest recorded national flower in history, the thistle is instantly recognized as a proud emblem of Scotland.
According to legend, a surprise nighttime attack by Norse invaders was thwarted when one of the enemies stepped barefoot on a thistle. His cries of pain awakened the sleeping Scots warriors, who successfully repelled the attack. In gratitude, the thistle was adopted as Scotland’s enduring symbol.
Today, the thistle represents the bravery, strength, and steadfast spirit of the Celtic people. Its thorns are a reminder that even beauty can defend itself when necessary—making it a fitting icon of Scottish determination and heritage.
