Bannockburn Scottish (Light) Side
Available only with complete set

Bernard de Linton, Abbot of Arbroath Although a young cleric - a mere Parson of Mordington in Berwickshire - the capabilities of Bernard de Linton were recognised by Bruce who used him as his chaplain during long and grim campaigning. Bruce eventually appointed him Chancellor of the Realm, William Lamberton making him Abbot of Arbroath.

It was de Linton who compiled the wording of the famous Declaration of Independence, signed at his abbey in 1320, and upon which the American Declaration of Independence is partly based.
