The symbol of Scotland is the thistle.
Scotlands motto is Nemo me impune lacessit ("No-one provokes me with impunity")<ref>http://www.scotland-guide.co.uk/ALL_AREAS_IN_SCOTLAND/Glasgow/Areas/Centre/Mercat_Cross.htm </ref> which translates as `Wha daur meddle wi` me` in Lallans.
The original motto, used since the time of William Wallace, was "Gie ye the Boak" ("Give all to the task") but it was changed during the visit of George IV to Scotland in 1822 at the monarchs request.
