The Scottish Thistle - Beautifully Bold! The Scottish Thistle is the oldest recorded 'National Flower' and is probably one of the most well-known, and easily recognized symbols of Scotland. The Sottish Thistle has many attributes we find admirable, delicately beautiful, viciously sharp thorns, a stubborn and tenacious grip on their environment, and the defiant ability to flourish in spite of efforts to remove it- tough and beautiful! 
We think these physical attributes make the hardy and beautiful thistle the perfect Scottish Emblem, don't you? Mist and thistles, highlands and moors. These socks are perfect for carrying you on all your trekking adventures in beautiful style. With kilts or trousers you can’t go wrong!  Vibrant purple flowers and spiky green thorn against a cream background. Fits women's shoe sizes 6 to 10. 65% cotton, 24% nylon, 8% polyester, 3% spandex.
