The Scots declaration of Arbroath in 1320

 The Scots declaration of Arbroath in 1320

The Declaration of Arbroath is a letter dated 6 April 1320 written by the barons and freeholders of the Kingdom of Scotland to Pope John XXII. The letter asked the pope to recognise Scotland's independence and acknowledge Robert the Bruce as the country's lawful king. 

In 1998 former majority leader Trent Lott succeeded in instituting an annual "National Tartan Day" on 6 April by resolution of the United States Senate.[23] US Senate Resolution 155 of 10 November 1997 states that "the Declaration of Arbroath, the Scottish Declaration of Independence, was signed on April 6, 1320 and the American Declaration of Independence was modeled [sic] on that inspirational document".[24] However this claim is generally unsupported by historians.[25]



4*6+13*20 = 284
284+482 = 766
4*6+13*20+6*14+20*46 = 1288

4+6+13+20 = 43
4+6+1+3+2+0 = 16
