Yet the Declaration of Arbroath and the Treaty of Edinburgh Northampton didn't come till years later. Scottish history tour guide Bruce Fummey talks about the end of the Scottish War of Independence.

Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As a Scottish history tour guide people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation of your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

That was a great video, very much enjoyed. I had an ancestor, the Earl of Ross (Hugh) that signed the declaration of Arbroath. I have often thought that the expat Scots in the colonies used it as a guide for our Declaration of Independence. Who knows for sure but there were many former Scots and Scottish descendants that had no love for the English. Thanks again Bruce.

@ClarenceCochran-ne7du 6 месяцев назад

Jefferson, Franklin and Adams borrowed a lot from the Declaration of Arbroath when writing the US Declaration of Independence. Two of the three noted studying Arbroath and using it as a guide in the correspondence with other members of the Continental Congress.

@professor1972 Год назад

I believe, and I bow to Bruce's more specialist knowledge here, that the name Great Britain was instituted by James VI/I in 1604 following the Union of the Crowns in 1603 so I guess you could argue that the name was invented by a Scottish King and that Great Britain has always contained Scotland.

I just discovered, through a long travel back in time, that Robert the Bruce is my 23rd Great Granddad with 12 Female ancestors and 11 male to form the connection. Nothing can be straight going that far back but I found an interesting very old pedigree of an ancestor that drew the line. It was a Royal pedigree of Lord Alexander Forbes 6th Laird of Tolquhoun in Aberdeenshire. I have no certainty of how correct it actually is but until someone can point out discrepancies, I'm sticking to it.

@sandormccann2546 2 года назад

No, he was describing the Scots nobles who voted for the union of the parliaments that created the United Kingdom. The Scottish nobles had been bankrupted by the failure of the Darien Scheme, (which failed, in part at least, because of English interference as well as other accidents and incidents). Being bankrupt left those lords wide open to English corruption and England coveted Scotland and its wealth to pay for their expensive wars in France, etc. The Lords were therefore bribed and voted for the union, a deeply unpopular decision in the wider Scotland. The ordinary Scots rioted and protested the length and breadth of the country. Militias had to be raised and the Riot Act was read out a number of times before peace was restored. Those lords were described by Rabbie Burns as 'sic a parcel o' rogues in a nation.'
