Some History for You

On this day June 24 1314 (695 years ago), Robert the Bruce of Scotland defeated the English army under Edward II at Bannockburn, near Stirling. I have mixed feelings about this, my Scottish side feels that the Union of Scotland and England in 1707, nearly 400 years later, was a good thing, and my English side feels the pain of being hacked to bits by swords while surrounded by the harrowing sight of several hundered dead bodies of my fellow men.
