For 700 years the Declaration of Arbroath has been one of Scotland’s most powerful national symbols. In this book, Andrew Redmond Barr celebrates the Declaration as one of the earliest foundation stones of Scottish identity, and explores its profound impact on modern ideas of freedom and democracy.
This was a fascinating book about the history of my country and taught me things I wasn’t aware of but is still an excellent introduction to Scottish medieval history and Scotland’s battle to be free of English shackles. The illustrations were gorgeous and the work is easily accessible. I think it’s a wonderful book, would highly recommend.
