Thistles and Luckenbooths

Beautiful Scottish Thistles telling the creative story of how, during the many invasions, Scotland endured over the centuries, defended themselves by planting Thistles around their properties and castles so that when intruders prepared their attacks, they would be startled by the stings of the hostile thistle and the resident would hav e the opportunity to gain the advantage.

The Luckenbooth is a romantic Scottish symbol of Love, from the 17th century, often given as a sign of betrothal, affection and friendship. The design of entwined hearts, symbolizing love; with a crown, symbolizing loyalty, is a strong and passionate token exchanged for centuries.
