Description

This week we travel with Neil to Angus where the glowing red eye of Arbroath Abbey casts a watchful look over us.It was here at the Abbey in 1320 that the Declaration of Arbroath was written, a revolutionary document whose words would resonate around the world. Drafted as a declaration of Scottish independence and a show of support for the celebrated king, Robert the Bruce, it also held the monarch and his heirs to account. On the heels of Magna Carta this document, was another important steppingstone on the path to democracy. Check out, NEIL OLIVER LOVE LETTER – the series INSTAGRAM account Hosted on Acast.
