It was on this day . . .

April 6th - It was on this day in 1320 that the Declaration of Arbroath was drawn up by the monks of Arbroath Abbey.

A statue depicting the Declaration of Arbroath, made in 1320, stands on the outskirts of Arbroath.  The declaration was a statement of Scotland’s independence and is stirring stuff, “… for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule.  It is 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.”
