How did the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320 influence the legal foundation of the greatest superpower the world has ever seen?

The answers to these and many other questions can be found in Great Scottish Heroes, covering 2,000 years of Scottish history and encompassing outstanding leaders in a broad range of pursuits, including the arts, exploration, medicine, sport, religion and politics.
