Scottish Thistle Pocket Watch

• Leatherette presentation box
• Detailed design on lid

Made from pewter by time served craftsmen. Supplied in a Leatherette presentation box. Decorated with a design of the national emblem of Scotland- her thistle. The legend behind the pride of the thistle begins with a surprise attack by the invading King Haakon of Norway. Intent on taking the Scots Clansmen unawares his army landed on the Coast of Largs at night and crept up on the slumbering Scots barefoot. As they approached one of the party happened to tread upon a thistle and let out a cry of pain, alerting the Scots to their presence.
