Arbroath Abbey (Explored)

Founded in 1178 by William the Lion (who is buried here), Arbroath Abbey is famously associated with the Declaration of Arbroath of 1320. The Declaration was a letter written by the barons and whole community of the kingdom of Scotland to the pope, asking him to recognise Scotland’s independence and acknowledge Robert the Bruce as the country’s lawful king.
