The Thistle
• The thistle is the flower of Scotland• The thistle is the flower of Scotland because
many centuries ago a band of Scots hid out for the night in an area surrounded by thistles.

However, one of the soldiers stepped on a thistle and his cries of pain woke up the Scots who defeated the Norse.
