RE: The Scottish Thistle ~ Art By Red Dust

[prosteemian]

It is a wonderful work of art that symbolizes the culture and history of Scotland @reddust i always wondered how the thorns became a potential slogan for Scotland. There are many stories and theories about how this happens, but today according to the legend that you mentioned, That this plant was the reason to alert the Scots to the presence of invaders, it is a very great event transformed into this beautiful art and must be preserved and taught to the next generation

Who are you talking about? lool

[reddust]

Oh you don't know about the Picts....They are the forgotten people of Scotland....scary fierce people

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picts

The Scottish people (Scots: Scots Fowk, Scottish Gaelic: Albannaich), or Scots, are a nation and ethnic group native to Scotland. Historically, they emerged from an amalgamation of two Celtic-speaking peoples, the Picts and Gaels, who founded the Kingdom of Scotland (or Alba) in the 9th century. Later, the neighbouring Celtic-speaking Cumbrians, as well as Germanic-speaking Anglo-Saxons and Norse, were incorporated into the Scottish nation
