The thistle is Scotland’s national plant because, according to legend, an invading Viking army was attempting to sneak up and mount a surprise attack upon a Scottish army's encampment but when one of the barefoot Vikings stepped on a thistle he cried out in pain and alerted the sleeping Scots to the presence of the would-be assailants. Thus, the thistle saved the day!
