Robert the Bruce - the real history

The  film - Robert The Bruce - will have its premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival tonight.

Angus Macfadyen who plays Bruce and co-wrote the script is a supporter of Scottish independence.

Perhaps this is an opportune moment to draw attention to the Socialist Standard article on Bruce.

"...Bruce at Bannockburn never fought for the people of Scotland – he fought to place a crown upon his head."

But not solely of Scotland but of Ireland, too
