The Scottish thistle is a prickly plant that is native to Scotland. It has purple or pink flowers and long, sharp spines. The thistle is a national symbol of Scotland and is often used in heraldry and jewellery.
The thistle has a long history in Scottish culture. It is said that the thistle saved Scotland from invasion during the 13th century. According to legend, a group of Norsemen were trying to sneak up on a Scottish army that was sleeping in a field of thistles. The Norsemen were barefoot and the thistles pricked their feet, waking the Scottish army and allowing them to defeat the Norsemen.
The thistle is also a symbol of strength, courage, and resilience. The sharp spines of the thistle are a reminder that even the smallest and most humble of plants can be strong and resilient.
