📜 Historical Background (for reference):

The Order of the Thistle is the oldest and most exalted Scottish order of chivalry, second only in precedence to England’s Order of the Garter. Its origins are believed to trace back to the reign of James VII of Scotland (James II of England) in 1687, although some legends suggest an earlier medieval beginning.

The order honors Scottish men and women who have rendered exceptional service to the monarchy or the nation. Its motto, Nemo me impune lacessit, has been a long-standing symbol of Scotland's fierce independence and royal dignity.

The badge depicts Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, bearing a diagonal cross (saltire), framed in an ornate oval inscribed with the motto. Members traditionally wear the badge suspended from a green sash during formal occasions or investitures.
