The Scottish Thistle - the Emblem of Scotland, a symbol that has been used for over 500 years.
L
egends say that the role of the thistle was understood and first used as a royal symbol of Scotland on silver coins, issued by James III in 1470. The Order of the Thistle was founded in 1540 by King James V, who made this Order for himself and his twelve knights. The common badge, worn by the knights is a cross, surmounted by a star of four silver points, and over this a green circle bordered and lettered with gold, containing the motto
"Nemo me impune lacessit"
, "No-one harms me without  punishment", but more commonly translated in Scots as "Wha daurs meddle wi me"
