 The Thistle is the national emblem of
Scotland. During the reign of Alexander III of Scotland, (1241-1285) King
Haakon of Norway attempted to conquer Scotland. It is said that the Norse
tried a sneak nighttime attack, but barefoot, they stepped on thistles.
They screamed in pain, thus alerting the Scots, who were then able to
overcome them. The thistle then became the Scots national symbol. Thistle
a fire-herb and represents courageous defense and deep rooted ideals.
