Scotland's most famous letter to go on display
One of the most famous documents in Scottish history has gone on display for the first time in 18 years.
The two countries had been fighting against each other in the Wars of Scottish Independence since the English invasion of Scotland in 1296, with Robert the Bruce leading the Scottish army to a famous victory in the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. "It is strongly asserting their position as supporters of Robert the First as their king without having to get an approval from the king of England."One of the most famous quotes of the roughly 1,000-word long text still inspires the Scottish independence movement 700 years later.It reads: "As long as a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be subjected to the lordship of the English.
The Declaration of Arbroath display has been organised in partnership between National Museums Scotland and NRS, who keep the document. "With display there are so many vulnerabilities and so many factors that we are not in total control of."
