Arbroath is a large coastal town in Angus, Scotland, which was formerly home to a large fishing fleet, but, as a result of the Socialist policies of the Liberal European Union, is now only home to a single ship confined to Keptie pond.[1]
Declaration of Arbroath
The Declaration of Arbroath is considered one of the founding documents of the Scottish nation. Written by the leading noblemen of Scotland to Pope John XXII in 1320 and signed in the now ruined Arbroath Abbey, it asserts Scotland's independence from England following the attempts of King Edward I of England to annex England's northern neighbour (See Scottish Wars of Independence).
