New Declaration of Arbroath ?

Alex Salmond is in Arbroath today and its one month to go exactly until the Referendum !

I wondered if he was going to use the occasion to make a new "Declaration of Arbroath" !

And then this morning as I went to switch off the television I ended up watching "The Stuarts", a fabulous series that has been on about the Stuart dynasty !

So this got me thinking about the periods in time when Scotland has been Independent and when it has been part of a larger grouping such as the United Kingdom.

So here goes - I will piece together from my scant knowledge of history ! Please send me any corrections or additions if you know more !

Early influences on what we now know as Scotland were Picts, Britons, Angles (Germanic invaders), Scots, Vikings and Romans.
The kingdom of Alba (Gaelic word for Scotland) formed around 900 AD and continued to 1286
The kingdom formed when the Kingdoms of the Picts and Scots came together

The Scottish Wars of Independence (1296-1357) 
various wars between England and Scotland, triggered in the first place by the unexpected death of the Scottish King Alexander III who fell from his horse in 1286.
This is also the period when Scotland set up the Auld Alliance with France.
In 1320, the Declaration of Arbroath was signed - 1320 - Scotland becomes Independent

At the end of this series of wars, Scotland is an Independent Country...

1603
The Union of the Crowns
James VI of Scotland also becomes James I of England, following the death of the last Tudor monarch Queen Elizabeth I.  James planned a complete Union of Scotland and England, to create a new country called Great Britain but was not wholly successful in creating a political union - full union did not occur until 1707.

1707
Under Queen Anne, the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England unite to form the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707, with the Treaty of Union and subsequent Acts of Union, to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. (read about Queen Anne here - and how horrendous for her to have no surviving children from 17 pregnancies - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain)

1800
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was formed by the Acts of Union 1800, which united the
Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland.
The Union Flag was created at this point and still remains the flag of the United Kingdom. It combined the flags of England (which included Wales) and Scotland with a "St Patrick's Cross" to represent Ireland.
The southern area of Ireland subsequently gained Independence and the northern part remains as part of the United Kingdom.
