- The Declaration of Arbroath dated April 6th 1320 was Scotland's appeal to the Pope that Scotland should be an independent nation, free from English rule. Probably written by Bernard Linton, Abbot of Arbroath Abbey, the single surviving copy is sealed by 51 Scottish nobles and magnates.
The date of the declaration is celebrated in the USA as Tartan Day and the document was used as the basis for the American Declaration of Independence.
The film features Jock Ferguson of Herald Events as the Bruce and was filmed and edited by Colin Maxwell.

You know your Ancestor the Chief of the Great Clan Ross, the Earl of Ross was 4th to Sign that Declaration, with his Descendant Col. George Ross last to Sign the Declaration of Independence by Date...
@@randyross5630 Thanks. Still hoping for the second Declaration of Independence.
@@gordonross6250 The Highlands should Vote for Independence, and get it, than watch how the Low Lands follow them!
Dear God, send us another Bruce.
God won't forget us, He will send us a new Bruce... As soon as another Walace arrise among us.
@@michelbr1389 So you want a couple of Frenchmen eh , both Norman decent !

Be your own Bruce, Scottish friend.Respect to you
absolutely moving and touching this speech is. as a scots man I feel the same and yes we do need to stand for our freedom why did we fight for century's just to loos it again not by wars and death but by laws and politics and government. we should have freedom again

StraightFlix you could argue it’s up to us to change the system and drive them out as the enemy and put another government in place...
If only we had another doctoring we could follow ” what was it that guy Marx was saying”.
Lol shouldn’t give Jeremy Corbin any ideas !
That's what Country's done back then non stop War especially in Europe. Robert The Bruce will go down as one of the best Kings in history against such odds left with less than 100 men eventually won every battle including the nearly 30k English Force at Bannockburn. England had World's strongest army's in Europe at this time. Braveheart has a lot to answer for although I loved the Film. 60% of our goods go to England so why make a border & lose billions a year?? If Robert was alive he would say exact same, besides current Queen is a descendant of Robert The Bruce. Together we built biggest Empire World has ever seen, Kept peace for 300 years. Go educate yourself instead of watching films.
Other thing was we where bankrupted if we joined Union then England would pay our debts. The Entire City of Glasgow was built through our Union with England, From the sale of tobacco in our Colony's.
well worth a much wider viewership, especially folks outside Scotland
Watching from Orlando 2022
THE RIGHT TO RULE OURSELVES
Gives me chills each time I listen. Posting every year on 4/6 on our Clan Leslie site.
Absolutely masterful. As stirring as any document in existence and a wonderful presentation!
"It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours, that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."
What a terrible irony! I wonder what would these heroes think if they are still alive to see the likes of their descendants today.
Probably what I think: that the 55% who voted against independence are cowards.

HAIL SIR WILLIAM WALLACE, GUARDIAN OF SCOTLAND
HAIL ROBERT THE BRUCE, KING OF SCOTS
REMEMBER THE NAME DOUGLAS
And what about Andrew de Moray ? Died from wounds at Stirling Bridge , which was his idea to trap the English , and Wallace got his army slaughtered the following year at Falkirk , De Moray , the forgotten true hero .
True bad assery back in the 1300's. What backbone! If we had but 1/4 of that resoluteness today.
thank you Colin, we , they, need to be reminded of our RIGHTS granted us by GOD
So moving and so true. Thank you for sharing this. Alba gu Brath

Will be in Arbroath tomorrow May 13 th Touring my country. Must make my own oath. Alan McEwen. From Canada and Scotland.
Wonderful, it is almost like being there.
I just finished The Outlaw King!!!
says it all.. and still true!
Declaration of Arbroath....Magna Carta....Declaration of Independance....Amen
If only Bruce knew what was to become of the West.
Agreed and especially his Father Robert du Bruce (The competitor ) He fought in the crusades but Robert the Bruce always wanted to go on Crusades but feared the English would invade again while he was away. That's reason Robert The Bruce gave the Church a shiit load of money towards the end of his life and wanted his heart took to the holy land fighting Christ's enemy's by his Friend The good Sir James Douglas. The Bruce was 100s of years ahead of his time and not only a great Statesman but a true Warrior King with balls of steel...
@@davidwallace4416 Aye that brave Norman blood eh !
He probably would have called for Scots from all over to come for freedom for Scotland. May Arthur and Robert de Bruce come back to free us from the Saxons
I can hear the resounding voice Judah in his own voice…the Zara line!
Awesome, literally
Bravo! The only thing you could do to improve this masterful performance would be to turn down the background - it competes.
Awesome

Something to consider:
The stolen Stone of Scone was recovered from Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950 ! On the Dead Sea Scroll's solar calendar, after the Vernal Equinox starting the next Biblical Year, it was placed on the altar in the ruins of Arbroath Abbey on the 11th April 1951.
With a 21st March Vernal Equinox that year, this means that the Stone of Scone was placed on the
altar of Arbroath Abby on the last seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: a Holy High Day !
So in the same BIBLICAL year:
• 1951 was 3400 years and the 68th Jubilee after the Exodus from Egypt ! (Working with a 4BC birth of Christ)
• Before the next Vernal Equinox King George VI died on the 6th of February 1951.
• Queen Elizabeth II immediately ascended the throne - although only later coronated.
i.e. The Stone of Scone was recovered in the Jubilee 7x7 49th year of 1950, and later placed on the High Altar of Arbroath Abby on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread - in the Jubilee 50th year of 1951 !
The Declaration of Scottish Independence drafted at Arbroath Abby and dated the 6th April 1320, was also in the midst of the Feast of Unleavened Bread:
The vernal equinox was the 20th March that year and the 7th April was the 4th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that year: the day of Christ’s resurrection on the Biblical annual calendar.
So 631 years later (6+3+1=10), on the last 7th Day of Unleavened Bread, being a High Day, the Stone of Scone was placed on the High Alter in the ruins of that very same Arbroath Abby, wrapped in the “Saltire” or “Saint Andrews Cross” - the national flag of Scotland.
Saint Andrew was the brother of Peter, and also an apostle and disciple of Christ.
In the 1320 “Declaration of Arbroath” the Scott’s claimed to be Israelites who migrated from Egypt to Spain to Ireland and then to Scotland !
Legend has it that the Stone of Scone would sometimes groan when a king was crowned on it. It is now apparent that the Stone of Scone had a flaw in it. It had a faint fracture that could be the cause of the noise when some weightier kings were crowned sitting on it: the fracture gradually progressed further and further under the weight and hence the “groans”.
When it was removed from beneath the coronation throne in Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950, it finally broke into two pieces in the process.
The smaller piece was secretly returned to Scotland almost immediately and the larger piece was returned sometime later.
Once re-assembled and re-enforced into the semblance of one stone, it was placed on the alter as described above.
When it was later back in Westminster Abby, Queen Elisabeth II was coronated on a broken Stone of Scone - what is the significance and implication of that as we see history unfold ???
💒Part of my🌄 heritage. My 👑Earl of Ross 🏅Clan side 💖 it.
The Scots talk about the Israelites on their decletarion? do they say that they are\the unbroken line of Israelites kings? whats going on here
700 years ago that’s what they thought. Modern methods of tracing genes has proved otherwise.
It has been archeologically proven to be true. I recommend Dr. E Raymond Capt's works on this topic.
@@MaximizedComics False. It has actually proved that those of Revelation 2:9;3:9 ARE NOT Israelites. All prophecy confirms the White Race is Israel. Do you not know of the Stone of Destiny(Jacob's Pillow) and Judah's Scepter? Where are they? They have stayed with the Israelites, and still are today.

Something to hear.
Crying I love this ❤
amen
I would love to get an audio recording of this for my ipod. Anyone know if it's available?
Never mind. I got it! :)
Sounds like the iberians gave them a "warmful" welcome. 😎😎😎
They journied From greater scythia and past the pillars of hercules. People need to start thinking about what this means.
What does it mean?
@daviewales: through the straits of Gibraltar,from the east unto Ireland and thereafter to Scotland!.
No Internet in those days.
A moving account of English expansionist and vicious oppression of their nearest and undearest neighbours 😊!
Why did Wallace have the English King's Chancellor of the Exchequer flayed alive 😮?
Enormous suffering was inflicted..and famine on Scotland 😮 !
I expect Bruce spoke Norman French.
leitros At home probably, but in public he would have spoken Scots or Gaelic depending on the crowd.
owen O'Neill
The declaration of Arbroath is full of historical inaccuracies, and deliberately so. It was written to end constant English invasion, and to explain why Scotland couldn't send more troops to fight in the crusades.
The Scotti settled in the north of what is today Scotland before the Romans invaded the British isles, the very people to name the Scotti, a term they never used themselves.
This was long before Scotland, Ireland, or any other European country even existed.
I agree with the first part of your first sentence. I do not however agree with your comments about the Scottii. These were tribes from the North of Ireland (what later became Ulster). They were emigrating into the West of what later became Scotland from the 4th, century. At the beginning of the 6th century one group of these immigrants established the Kingdom of Dalriada. They were Q Celtic speakers. Much of the rest of what became Scotland, North of the Forth undoubtedly spoke Pictish (a P Celtic language having, probably, a great deal of affinity with the Brythonic languages spoken in the lowlands of pre Scotland and in large parts of England. During the centuries between early 6th. century and mid 9th century sometimes Dalriada held power over the Pictish lands of Fortriu and sometimes a powerful Pictish King would arise and exercise hegemony over Dalriada, but by mid 9th century unification took place under Kenneth MacAlpine and this was unbroken until the time of Macbeth and Lulach in the early 11th. century.
leitros
You'd be 100℅ correct if you didn't mention Ireland.
"The Scotti settled in the north of what is today Scotland before the Romans invaded the British isles, the very people to name the Scotti, a term they never used themselves.
This was long before Scotland, Ireland, or any other European country even existed".
I presume you think I'm saying they didn't travel from what is today Northern-Ireland to what what is today North-West Scotland, I'm not.
I'm saying Ireland didn't exist, and neither did the Irish people. To claim otherwise is revisionist history.
I agree. That's why I said "what became Ulster". Perhaps I could ahve expressed things better. BTW:, I was born in Arbroath.
The Scottish Are Israelites!
No, we are Scots. We are Gaels and Britons. And we descend from those in Ireland and the people of King Arthur. Israelites are of a far away lands, of a different people.
To call us Israelites is to ignore the true history of Scotland and the isles we are on.
@-._A2._- You should read your own history. The Scots say they are Israelites in the 1320 Declaration of Abroath.
The origin of Europeans Peoples is through the Caucasus Mountains and through Asia Minor into Europe.
Our history and migrations are well documented.
They were Israelites.
Never were we Israelites. We are Britons and Gaels. Now then and forever. Saor Alba Gu Bràth 🏴
the Pope at the time already had contracts with the English kings to support
And Scotland and it’s King, Excummicated!
Freedom we want our freedoms back kranky
Am sure the Pope would have entertained reading this declaration with the King of Scots already Excommunicated and by the Popes words, ‘the Heathen King of Heathens! Especially, after our Campaign against Catholic Ireland when Scotland and its armies, were all Excommunicated!
