Thistle Symbolism - The thistle survives where others won’t -- and often this is surviving harsh conditions.
Though some see only it's symbology associated with Pain and Sorry (Christ's crown of thorns), the Thistle -- with its natural protection of pointy protrusions -- has over the centuries represented Protection, Strength, Protection, Hex Breaking, Healing, and the Ability to Survive During Adversity.
In the language of flowers, the thistle is a symbol of Nobility of Character.
The legend behind the protection of the Scots through the thistle takes place during the Nordic evasion of great Britain. An invading Viking army was trying to sneak up at night upon a Scots army encampment – during this, a barefoot enemey stepped upon a thistle, which caused him to cry out loud of pain and thus alerted the Scotts. 'In gratitude, the plant became known as the Guardian Thistle and was adopted as the symbol of Scotland', is stated on the Scottish tourism page.
