But itâs true: the unicorn really is the official national animal of Scotland. And our love for this famous mythological creature dates back many centuries. Unicorns have featured in many cultures going as far back as the classical age, including the ancient Babylonians and the Indus civilization.
Scotsmen were so fond of unicorns that, in the late 1300s, King Robert took on the unicorn as Scotlandâs national animal. There was just one problem. Unicorns were proven to not be real in 1825
The unicorn is a mythical creature often depicted as a horse-like animal with a single horn on its forehead. The choice of the unicorn as Scotlandâs national animal is believed to represent purity, power, and the association with the countryâs history and folklore. Unicorns have been part of Scottish heraldry and symbolism for centuries.
The unicorn symbolises purity, innocence, masculinity, and power. Unicorns were said to have healing powers; for example, their magical horns could purify poisoned water and heal sickness. Only virgin maidens or Scottish Kings could tame unicorns in Celtic folk tales.
