Thistle
The Thistle has nothing pleasant in it, especially if you carelessly touch its thorns. But it has an important meaning for the people of Scotland. It is the Scottish national emblem. Scotland is a part of Great Britain.
Why did the Scottish people choose this thorny plant as the national emblem of their country?
The answer is interesting and we can find it in the materials connected with the history of Scotland. The people of Scotland chose the thistle as the national emblem because it saved their land from foreign invaders many years ago.
Sleeping Scottish soldiers awoke because they heard the shouts of the enemy soldiers as their bare feet touched the thorns of the thistle in the field they were crossing. That was a good reason for choosing the thistle as a national emblem.
