How Did the Thorny Thistle Become a National Emblem?

A long time ago, when Scotland was ravaged by Viking invaders, a group of Scottish fighting men were resting overnight in a field.  Unknown to them, a raiding party was preparing to attack them under the cover of darkness.  As the attacking Vikings approached the emcamped Scots, they stepped into a patch of thistles with their bare feet and let out cries of pain as the thorns dug deep into their soles and toes!  The Scots, awakened and alerted to danger, were able to fight off

the attackers.  So, from that day, legend has it, the Scottish Thistle was

highly regarded - and soon adopted as Scotland's National Emblem.
