#OTD, 24 June, in 1314, the Scottish army under King Robert I destroyed a much larger English invasion force at Bannockburn, in one of the most decisive battles in medieval history. In 1793 Robert Burns composed “Scots Wha Hae”, originally entitled “Robert Bruce’s March To Bannockburn”

(Historical curiosity: WC Sellar, a Scot, was grandson of Patrick Sellar, the Duke of Sutherland’s factor during the Clearances)

Columba has a fair claim to being Scotland’s first patron saint. What were (possibly) his relics were (perhaps) carried as the Breacbennach battle standard at the forefront of the Scottish army at Bannockburn

#NFL Seeing a lot of hate towards #KyleShanahan because the #Niners lost. Move on. Perhaps being a Scot helps, we have #KingRobertTheBruce to remember how to handle defeat. Even after the many lost battles during #WarsOfScottishIndependence he didn’t give up, the tide eventually turned and he kept going right up to #Bannockburn. You can’t truly savour the great wins if you’ve never suffered the worst losses. Learn from your mistakes. Get ready for the next season! #NinersFaithful #NeverGiveUp
