“In comic form [Robert] Bruce appeared recently in Tales of Wallace and Bruce (2017), On Dangerous Ground (2014), and (somewhat bizarrely) in an issue of X-Men spin-off The New Mutants (#47, January 1987, ‘My Heart for the Highlands’).”

Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, was born on this day in 1274. His statue & that of Sir William Wallace stand sentinel by the gates of #Edinburgh Castle, still keeping watch over the land seven centuries on. https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/30768282532/

750 years ago, Scotland was fighting for its existence against English aggression.
I don't subscribe to the belief that it was all down to one man, but the Bruce definitely left his mark on our history in those days. I've made a number of videos about his Galloway adventures as an Outlaw King, and this is a playlist of them.
