It is said that one of the men stepped on thistle spines and thorns and cried out. His shouts warned the Scots, who then defeated the Norsemen, thus saving Scotland. The first use of the Scottish Thistle as a royal symbol was on silver coins issued by James III in 1470.
The Flag of Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Bratach na h-Alba; Scots: Banner o Scotland), also known as St Andrew's Cross or the Saltire, is the national flag of Scotland. As the national flag, the Saltire, rather than the Royal Standard of Scotland, is the correct flag for all individuals and corporate bodies to fly. It is also, where possible, flown from Scottish Government buildings every day from 8am until sunset, with certain exceptions.
