The thistle is the symbol of Scotland

A curious legend explains the history of the Scottish national emblem.

According to that legend the Norsemen (ancient Scandinavians) landed on the east coast of Scotland in very ancient times. Their intention was to plunder the country and settle in it.

The Scots assembled with their arms behind the river Tay. They were tired after a long march and had a rest in their camp.

They were not expecting the enemies. The Norsemen decided to attack the Scots. They didn`t want to make any noise and took off their shoes. Suddenly one of the Norsemen stepped on a thistle. He felt the sudden and sharp pain and began to shriek.

It was a kind of an alarm for the Scots. The Norsemen were put to flight and the thistle became the national symbol of Scotland.

Who would have attacked Scotland?

What is the capital of Scotland?

What is the second name of the Scandinavians?
