Excerpt from Annals of an Angus Parish

In the year 1296, Edward L, King of England, bent upon the subjugation of Scotland, advanced from England with thirty thousand infantry and five thousand mounted men-at-arms,' and seized the impo'rtant town and stronghold of Berwick. From that town his advance through Scotland seems to have been one continued triumphal march. Resistance to such a force was impossible on the part of a people whose natural leaders the nobility had with great cowardice submitted to the English rule and dictation.
