Thistle Store by Scotweb: the world's finest thistle products!

Legend says the thorny thistle became the symbol of Scotland when it pierced the feet of marauding Vikings as they crept ashore at night. Their screams alerted the Scots defenders, enabling the nation to survive proud and independent. So, to this day, the humble but sturdy thistle holds a special place in every Scot's heart, standing for Scotland's fiercely independent past and the nation's dauntless spirit. We feel so strongly about the thistle's iconic heritage that we've chosen it for Scotweb's own symbol, and dozens of other designers have similarly turned to the thistle for inspiration. Here we showcase the very best examples in a wide range of products and styles - let it inspire you too.
