Premium Scottish Thistle Copper Finish Kilt Pin

This premium kilt pin has been designed and made in Scotland. “The plant we know as the Scotch thistle, Onopordum acanthium, is not native. It was most likely introduced from Europe pre-16th century and has now naturalized in many areas. Chosen by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) as the emblem for George IV’s visit to Scotland in 1822, it has been accepted as a national emblem. The plant has many heraldic connections and is associated with the Order of the Thistle which in the 17th century adopted the wonderful motto, Nemo me impune lacessit (nobody attacks me with impunity) no doubt in reference to the spines” (National Records of Scotland). This really is the finest quality traditional kilt pin. It is perfect for any kilt and any occasion.
