A copy of a poem revealing the details of the Battle of Bannockburn has been restored for the 700th anniversary of the battle. “The Brus” is believed to have been written by the Archdeacon of Aberdeen in 1375 and tells of Robert the Bruce’s wars for Scottish independence.
The battle was fought on June 23 and 24 in 1314 and is relived through the 1,400-line poem. Now, a 15th century copy of the poem has been restored by a team at St John’s College at Cambridge University.
