As the old saying goes, a picture can paint 1,000 words. But such is the passion and emotion stirred by the humble Scottish thistle, we’d better make that 5,000 words. To find out how the thistle became the national emblem and Flower of Scotland, see my Scottish infographic here.
Scottish Thistles
Inspired by this story I bring you my Scottish Thistle collection. Here you will find thistly things for everybody and every home too. Wall art and suitcases; mugs, coasters and tea towels; t-shirts and totes; a unique and contemporary collection of beautiful Scottishness.
Our Scottish Thistle mugs, coasters and tea towels will add a touch of Scottish art to your kitchen. Combine with beautiful duck feather cushions and hand-poured scented candles to continue the thistly Scottish vibes throughout your home.
Here at GK, we like to make travel fun. Suitcases really don’t need to be black and totes can be totally fantastic. With our beautiful Scottish Thistle suitcases you’ll always stand out.
Check out our extensive range of Scottish suitcases and totes here.

Hand screen printed in Glasgow, our Scottish Thistle tees look equally great with jeans or a kilt. See our full range of Scottish t-shirts here.
Our Gillian Kyle Scottish Stories celebrate the many things that make Scotland so wonderfully unique. The iconic Scottish Thistle – the Flower of Scotland – is a perfect example and a topic we keep coming back to.
