A little history for those folk who might not know:
The thistle’s story as Scotland’s national flower is rooted in a legend of a Norse invasion. During a surprise attack, a barefoot Norseman stepped on a thistle, his cry alerting the sleeping Scots, who then repelled the invaders. This incident is said to have marked the thistle as a symbol of vigilance and defense, earning it the title of Scotland’s national flower.
