Embracing Scottish folklore, the thistle, a robust flower thriving in the rugged landscapes of Scotland, became the emblem following the Battle of Largs in 1263 AD. According to legend, a surprise Norse attack was thwarted when their leader stepped on a thistle, alerting the Scots of the impending danger. This battle marked the end of Norse occupation and established the kingdom of Scotland. The thistle, though not a lush plant, symbolises the tenacious spirit of Scotland – tough, prickly, and not to be underestimated.
