The Thistle was used by the early Kings of Scotland as their personal heraldic crest and is borne by the Arms of the Realm and by a number of ancient Scottish clans and families as part of their coats of arms. In 1687 James II instituted the Order of the Thistle as a distinctly Scottish Order of Knighthood. This order is now one of the oldest of all surviving British orders. The thistle has been the Scotland's national emblem ever since. A Norse army tried a stealthy night attack. However their leader trod on a thistle and his yell alerted the Scots, who routed them.
