  • 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.

      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.

      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...

    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 ???

      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.

    • @leitros
      @leitros Před 7 lety +3

      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.

      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.
