/
The thistle is the national flower of Scotland.
According to legend in the 1200's the Danes from Norway attempted to invade Scotland. Hiding under the cover of darkness their raid upon sleeping defenders was stopped when a barefoot raider stepped on a thistle and howled out in pain, alerting the defenders who drove the Danes away.  The back of the last sixpence features a garland of roses, thistle, shamrock (three leaf clover), and leek. The words "Fid Def" are also on the back of the sixpence. This is Latin for fidei desfensor, or defender of the faith.
