Because thistles are native to and grow very well in scotland.

The purple thistle was adopted as the Emblem of Scotland during the rein of Alexander III (circa:1249 -1286). In legend it is said that an Army of King Haakon of Norway, tried to conquer the Scots to do this they landed at the Coast of Largs during the night and to have the element of surprise over the Scottish and to move more stealthily under the cover of darkness the Norsemen removed their footwear. Haakon's bear footed men stood on some of these spiny nettles and screamed in pain, this alerted the the sleeping Clansmen. Needless to say the Scots who won the battle.

There are several including Grangemouth, Leith, Aberdeen, Fraserburgh, Peterhead, Oban, Clydebank etc.

Scottish kilts come from Scottish Highlands. The first historical records of Scottish kilts are from the 16th century. Since then, kilt was used as a traditional Scottish army uniform.

Like many myths there is no real evidence than there is any sort of 'monster' living in Loch Ness. But, until it is proved absolutely conclusively that there isn't a monster, some people will continue to believe that there is one. The real reason is that people want a little mystery in their lives, they feel that the world is too small, that almost everything has been discovered, labelled and photographed. The Loch Ness monster, Yeti, Sasquatch, Werewolves and Vampire etc offer an escape from what some people view as the mundane boredom of everyday existence. Such creatures offer a promise that there are still things that haven't been explained by science. Cynical peole would say that the Loch Ness monster was just invented as a story, by local people, to attract tourists, and if that is the case it has worked. Most of those who believe in 'Nessie' think that the Loch Ness monster is some sort of marine dinosaur. The Dinosaurs became extinct tens of millions of years ago but only 11 thousand years ago, during the last Ice Age, Loch Ness was buried under a kilometre or more of ice. That was only the most recent of many Ice Ages which have occurred since the extinction of the dinosaurs. So the Loch Ness monster could only have moved to Loch Ness in the last 10 thousand years or so. Where did it come from? Scientists would say that no dinosaur could live for millions of years by itself. Nessie must therefore be a member of an undiscovered species, so where are the rest of them? Why has no one ever been able to prove that they even exist?

Central London to St Andrews, Fife is about 468 miles by road and would take at least 8 hours 40 minutes to drive, longer if you take a break en route.

You may be able to use a combination of Roads, Flights and Trains to cut your journey time but there is no direct route.

--------------------------------------------

The easiest way to fly from London to St Andrews is by flying to Edinburgh and getting a train from there. The flight will be approximately 1 hour depending on the weather.

The kilt is the traditional national dress of Scotland. However, it is only now worn at celebrations like weddings and other formal gatherings such as Highland Games and military parades.

Smaller- the Highland region is roughly equivalent in size to Northern Ireland. The whole of Scotland is about one third larger than Wales.

As a general rule of thumb, Wales is about the same size as Belgium.

The shortest distance between any two points on the globe is called a "great circle" that curves toward the North Pole in the Northern Hemisphere. This is called a semi-polar route. Flying due east across Ireland would be a much farther distance than the NE path across Scotland and descending SW along the east coast of Canada. You can see this on a globe.
