Answer 2

The thistle holds a special place in Scottish culture as the national emblem of Scotland. According to a fascinating legend, the thistle was chosen as the badge of Scotland due to a significant event in ancient times.

The story goes that Norsemen once landed on the east coast of Scotland with the intention of plundering and settling in the country. The Scots, aware of the impending danger, gathered with their weapons and positioned themselves behind the river Tay, the largest river in Scotland, at the only ford that was feasible to cross.

Arriving late in the day and exhausted from a long march, the Scots set up their camp and rested, not expecting the enemy to attack until the next day. Unbeknownst to them, the Norsemen were close by and noticed the lack of guards or sentinels protecting the camp. Seizing the opportunity to catch the Scots off guard, the Norsemen crossed the river Tay, intending to launch a surprise attack and slaughter them in their sleep. In order to make as little noise as possible, they took off their shoes.

However, fate had a different plan. As one of the Norsemen stepped on a thistle, he felt a sudden and sharp pain, causing him to let out a shriek. This unexpected noise alarmed the Scots in the camp, alerting them to the imminent danger. With the element of surprise lost, the Norsemen were forced to flee.

In gratitude for the timely and unexpected help from the thistle, the Scots chose it as their national emblem. The thistle came to symbolize the bravery, resilience, and resourcefulness of the Scottish people. It represents their ability to protect and defend their homeland, even against seemingly insurmountable odds.

To this day, the thistle continues to be an important symbol of Scotland, adorning the country's flags, crests, and various official emblems. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of Scotland and the unwavering spirit of its people.
