Aye. You guessed it. June 24 in the year 1314 the esteemed Robert the Bruce defeated Edward II of England in the Scottish War of Independence.
And thank goodness he did.
Those bloody bastards had done enough damage and needed to be put in their places.
And, eventually, Sir Robert the Bruce became King and later gave a castle to my Burnett ancestors.
And everyone should have a castle in the family. You know? So thank the Universe for today, 700 years ago.
Cheers.
