Onopordum acanthium
I believe this is a scotch thistle just by how large the leaves are. These thistles get huge!
It is hard to tell without flowering, I will go back later and see how they start looking. I am starting to lean towards Bull Thistle.
I suspect a Scotch Thistle, but not sure. http://www.cwma.org/scotchthistle.html
