This purple and green beaded bracelet celebrates Scotland's national emblem: The Thistle. This thorny plant has a legend that takes place in the mid-13th century. During a surprise invasion by a Viking force, the plan to creep up on the Highlanders was thwarted after one of the invader's bare foot came down hard on a thistle and his cries of pain woke the sleeping Scots. The Scots jumped up and charged into battle and they were victorious against the Northmen.
The head of the Scottish thistle is a beautiful purple, while the green foliage have vicious thorns. It is a tenacious plant that flourishes in spite of all efforts to remove it. The properties of bravery, devotion, determination, and strength that this plant demonstrates are a perfect reflection of the Scottish people. Celebrate your Scottish heritage by wearing this bracelet.
