Also accepted: Unicorn, unicorn, A unicorn, Unicorns

Scotland's national animal is the mythical unicorn, and it has been a Scottish royal symbol since the 1300s. In Celtic legend, the unicorn stood for purity, strength and innocence, and was believed to be so wild that only a king could tame it. That's why it's usually shown wearing a gold chain. On the United Kingdom's Royal Coat of Arms, Scotland's unicorn stands opposite England's lion.
