What is that purple flower ?

Please forgive an old man for asking a stupid question .

But, forgetting something I once knew is driving me crazy.

In the movie "Braveheart", very near the beginning when young William Wallace is at the grave of his father, a young girl gave him a purple flower. That flower is often found growing wild , usually in cow pastures.

If you have a copy of Braveheart, could you please tell me what is the name of that flower ?

thank you

Was it a thistle Bakerman? I'm just thinking that's the Scottish emblem but it's not a flower usually picked because it's prickly so I'm not sure it would be that...it's purple though.
