The board above this attractive mural reads: FRIARS VENNEL ONCE THE SITE OF GREYFRIARS MONASTRY WHERE IN 1300 ROBERT THE BRUCE SLEW THE RED COMYN AIDED BY SIR ROGER KIRKPATRICK AND OPENED THE FINAL STAGE FOR SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE WHICH ENDED VICTORIOUSLY AT BANNOCKBURN 1314 ‘I MAK SICCAR’ It's reassuring to know that the 2014 version of the quest for Scottish independence will be done through the ballot box, not by the sword!
