Celtic Alba Thistle Navy Scarf

Few national emblems have a more dramatic origin story than Scotland's beloved thistle and this beautifully woven scarf from Calzeat of Scotland tells it with quiet pride.

A thousand years ago, during a Viking invasion of Scotland, an advancing enemy warrior stepped on a thistle and cried out in pain, inadvertently waking the sleeping Scotsmen and alerting them to the Norse invaders. So grateful was King Kenneth III that the thistle was adopted as Scotland's national emblem, where it has proudly remained ever since.

This scarf celebrates that proud heritage in a classic combination of navy and blue, a colorway that feels as timeless and enduring as the thistle itself. Jacquard woven in a luxurious blend of 45% wool and 55% chenille, it's wonderfully soft against the skin and drapes beautifully as a classic scarf or wrap. Versatile enough for any occasion and any outfit, it's one of those pieces that simply never goes out of style.

At 35cm x 170cm (13.8" x 66.9") including fringes it's a generous and practical size for any season. Dry clean only.
