The most famous legend of the Scottish thistle tells the story of how it became Scotland's national flower. The story goes that in the 13th century, a Norwegian army invaded Scotland. The Norwegians were planning to attack the sleeping Scottish army by surprise, so they removed their shoes to sneak up on them. However, as they were creeping through the grass, one of the Norwegians stepped on a thistle. The thistle's sharp thorns pierced his foot, and he cried out in pain. The noise woke up the Scottish army, who were able to defeat the Norwegians.
The thistle's ability to defend itself against invaders made it a symbol of Scotland's strength and resilience. It also came to symbolize other qualities, such as vigilance, courage, and determination. The thistle was officially adopted as Scotland's national flower in the 15th century.
