Legend tells that an army of Norsemen landed on the coast of Largs late at night to surprise and conquer the Scots. To move more quietly, the Norsemen removed their footwear...but one hapless soldier stepped on a thistle, and cried out in pain, thus alerting the Scots who rose up and were victorious.
