Why Thistle Purple?

Purple is the colour most closely associated with the Scottish thistle, making Thistle Purple the signature choice for this pendant.

The colour also feels especially at home in Edinburgh, with its historic and regal character. For this reason, Thistle Purple remains the original colour of the design, while Emerald Green, Aquamarine Blue and Pink offer alternative interpretations for those who would like something a little different.

The Story of the Scottish Thistle

The thistle is Scotland's national flower and one of the country's most recognisable symbols. Over the centuries, it has come to represent strength, resilience, protection and Scottish pride.

One of Scotland's best-known legends tells of Scottish warriors who were resting when an invading Norse force approached under cover of darkness. According to the story, one of the invaders stepped barefoot onto a thorny thistle and cried out in pain, alerting the Scots to the approaching attack.

Whether history or legend, the story helped establish the thistle as a lasting symbol of Scotland and its determination to protect itself. Today, its unmistakable purple flower and thorny leaves remain instantly associated with Scottish heritage.

Choose Your Finish

925 Sterling Silver
A timeless polished silver finish that complements the traditional Scottish design and allows the coloured centre stone to stand out beautifully.

18ct Gold Vermeil
925 sterling silver finished with 18ct gold, creating a warm golden appearance while retaining the detailed character of the thistle design.
