Wild Thistle
£15.00For over 500 years the thistle has been one of the most important symbols of Scotland. Legend has it this hardy, spike filled plant saved Scots warriors from potential ambuse from an invading Norse army. Many say the magnificent thistle is a weed…we prefer to see it as a strong, free spirited flower which is hardy, resilient and persistent…after all ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’
Captured within this Wee Piece of Scotland bottle is a hand picked, dried and bottled thistle head.(and yes they do hurt when foraging for them!!) This thistle is a hardy symbol of resilience, devotion, bravery, determination, and strength. Where one person sees a weed , another view a flower. In other words as the Scot’s say ‘We’re a’ Jock Tamson’s bairns!’ (We’re all God’s creations, nobody is better than anybody else – we’re all equal.)
