Welcome to a new series of Love Scotland.
In this week’s episode, Jackie is joined by Professor Dauvit Broun of the University of Glasgow to discuss the life of Robert the Bruce.
Robert, King of Scots from 1306-1329, led a fascinating life full of changing allegiances, shifting power and military victories.
How much of our common understanding of this Scottish ruler is based in fact? What motivated him to switch sides, on several occasions, in the wars of the 13th and 14th centuries? And why has his legacy had such a lasting effect on the nation’s history?
Next week, Jackie and Dauvit continue their conversation, charting the events that followed Bannockburn.
