Roughly translated as :<\/p>\n<p>This music dates from 1314. At that date, Robert the Bruce, Scotland&#8217;s future king(Roibert a Briuis in old Scots) defeated the English at the battle of Bannockburn, this march&#8217;s beginning. Later in 1429 at the siege of Orleans he renewed his country&#8217;s alliance with France. The Scottish volunteers played this march at the entry of Joan of Arc into Orleans, and it continued on as the symbol for Franco-Scottish friendship! This march is still played today by the French Army.<\/p>\n<p>There are quite a few recordings of the tune on YouTube. Here&#8217;s one from Bl\u00e4serphilharmonie Rhein-Lahn.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lkms9SP9HhE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iScotland = independent Scotland.
