Declaration of Arbroath
/The Declaration of Arbroath, signed by Scottish nobles to assert their independence from England, laid the philosophical groundwork for liberty and self-rule. Over 450 years later, those same ideals inspired the Declaration of Independence in America on July 4, 1776.
📜 What’s the Forsyth connection?
Our ancestors were part of this spirit of independence. As loyal Scots, Forsyths stood for sovereignty, identity, and the right to self-govern—principles carried across the Atlantic by Scots-Irish immigrants who helped build the foundations of a new nation.
🔗 The Declaration of Arbroath wasn’t just about Scotland—it echoed through history and helped shape the very soul of America.
