Thanks, Scottie!

    Ceud mėle fāilte! A hundred thousand welcomes!
For those of you not familiar with the history
of the Abbey of Scone, this is the site of Robert the Bruce's
ascension to the throne of Scotland.  He was crowned King of Scotland,
at the Abbey of Scone on March 25, 1306.   It wasn't until 1328 that the pope
acknowledged the new king. He ruled another year and died on July 7, 1329
and was buried at Dunfermline Abbey.

 

Scots wha hae with Wallace bled
Scots with Bruce has often led
Welcome to your gory bed
Or to victorie.

    Dedication:
    This page is dedicated to the Scottish Heroes,
 Robert the Bruce, King of  Scots,
Sir William Wallace,Guardian of Scotland,
and all the Scots who fought for the freedom of Scotland.
May their lives have been worth it.




Editor's note: You will occassionally see words written in Scots Gaelic. I'm attempting to bring the Gaelic language to the world. I will eventually have a page devoted to the beautiful language. Please be patient!
