Episode 13: Dr. Ewen Cameron and Dr. Dauvit Broun on the Declaration of Arbroath

With National Tartan Day right around the corner, I am excited to release the second episode in my two-part series dedicated to exploring the history and significance of the Declaration of Arbroath.

I was joined this week by Professor Dauvit Broun of the University of Glasgow, and Professor Ewen Cameron of the University of Edinburgh for a history roundtable. These two professors each are highly respected and are among the leading scholars of Scottish history, so I was honored and thrilled when they both agreed to an interview. This episode was lots of fun to record and I hope you find it interesting and insightful.

A few topics discussed include: a review of the history behind the letter written to Pope John XXII in 1320 on behalf of the Scottish barons — now commonly known as the Declaration of Arbroath; why the letter was written and what the barons and King Robert I hoped it would achieve; its effects on modern-day politics and political thought; how modern political parties use the document today; and where, if anywhere, it belongs among the most influential historical political documents throughout history.

Thanks so much to Dr. Dauvit Broun and Dr. Ewen Cameron for taking the time to talk with me about this really interesting historical document.
