"The Thistle is Scotland's national symbol. It's said that at one time, just one thistle saved an entire Scottish army. During the Vikings invasion of Scotland, a thousand years ago, an advancing enemy warrior stepped on a thistle, cried out in pain inadvertently waking the sleeping Scotsmen. Scottish King Kenneth III was so grateful that he adopted the thistle as his nation's emblem."
