Description:
Come Celebrate the Auld (the Scots word for Old) Alliance, dating back to 1295; it was built upon Scotland and France's shared interests in controlling England's aggressive expansion plans. Some say that the alliance was never formally revoked, although it is considered by some to have ended with the signing of the Treaty of Edinburg in 1560.
