The legend of how the thistle came to be the flower of Scotland by DisruptedSoul Tags:ScotlandUnited Kingdom 5 comments Nice one, like a medieval version of stepping on a plug. Nah, some Laird said “we should have a national flower”, his advisor pointed and said “thistle do…” I’ll get my coat…. I’m pretty sure this is bollocks. There’s a version too where it’s an English army. That’s the one I heard. Along with the phrase ‘A Scotsman can sit on a rose, but an Englishman cannae sit on a thistle’ Some Viking walking across a field in the middle of the night and suddenly screams “JINGS ya bastard” Comments are closed.
