Arbroath is a remarkable Scottish town.
It can be one of the coldest places in Christendom when the wind is coming from the wrong direction, as anyone who has ever been to a cricket match at Lochlands at the start of the season can testify, and it has often been a source of wonder to many visiting supporters that Gayfield has not been swept away by the angry North Sea. (br> The town punches away above its weight in terms of history.
The Declaration, much quoted and indeed misquoted from by enthusiastic rather than meticulous historians, is a study in itself and one leaves it to medieval historians to mull over its significance, and of course the Stone of Destiny made an appearance at Arbroath Abbey as well - and many people feel that it should have been allowed to stay there.
