| Throughout history Scots have made their mark both at home and abroad. Early Scottish history is peppered with great warrior chiefs like William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. |
| In 1306 Robert Bruce was crowned king and began the long campaign to consolidate his title and gain freedom for the Scottish nation. The politics of the relationship between England and Scotland was central to the life of Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary ascended the throne of Scotland at less than one week old and ended her short life as a prisoner of Elizabeth I of England. |  |
