Scotland is known for its rich culture, proud history, and strong symbols. One of the most respected and cherished symbols in Scottish heritage is the thistle. It’s more than just a plant—it’s a symbol of protection, strength, and pride. That’s why the Scottish Thistle Hand Embroidered Lord Lieutenant Bullion Wire Rank Badge is so special.
At Hand Embroidered UK, we honour this tradition by creating each badge with great care. Using traditional hand embroidery methods, we craft these badges with precision, using high-quality bullion wire and skilled hands. This badge is not just a piece of cloth—it is a mark of identity, respect, and royal connection.
Why the Thistle Matters
The Scottish thistle has a long history. Legend has it that a group of enemies tried to sneak into a Scottish camp during the night. One of them stepped on a sharp thistle and cried out, waking the Scots and saving them from attack. Since then, the thistle has become a symbol of bravery and defence.
This small flower tells a big story. When it is hand embroidered on a rank badge, it adds deep meaning and Scottish character to the piece.
What Is a Lord Lieutenant Badge?
The Lord Lieutenant is the King’s personal representative in counties across the United Kingdom. They take part in royal visits, honours ceremonies, and official events. Their uniform includes a special badge to show their role and rank.
The Scottish Thistle Hand Embroidered Lord Lieutenant Bullion Wire Rank Badge is worn proudly by these individuals. It combines the national flower of Scotland with gold wire embroidery—showing both local pride and national duty.
How We Make the Badge
Our team at Hand Embroidered UK follows a time-honoured process. We use real gold bullion wire, which gives the badge its shine and high-quality look. Each badge is made by hand, not by machine, meaning every stitch is placed with care.
Here’s what makes our badge stand out:
- Traditional hand embroidery
- Detailed thistle design
- Gold bullion wire for a royal touch
