The common white cotton thistle or Scotch thistle is a plant of Eurasian origin. According to Scotch legend, the Norsemen invaded Scotland during the reign of Malcolm I (938 – 958 A.D.) and beleaguered Staines Castle.
One night the Norsemen took off their foot gear to wade the moat, only to find it dry and filled with cotton thistles. Their painful yells and curses roused the garrison and the Norsemen were soundly defeated.
In memory of this victory the thistle became the flower emblem of Scotland. In 1687 James VII founded the Most Noble and Most Ancient Order of the Thistle of Scotland, also called the Order of St. Anthony
