What action it will take to mark the 700th anniversary on 25 March 2006 of the inauguration of King Robert I.

The Scottish Executive has no plans to commemorate the inauguration of King Robert I. However, I would wish to consider this significant anniversary in the context of those planned for 2005 and 2007. We are currently working with a range of partners including Stirling Council, VisitScotland and Historic Scotland etc to develop an appropriate programme of events to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the death of William Wallace which will fall in August 2005. We are also looking to replicate the scale and type of events for the Union of the Crowns Anniversary in 2003 for the Union of the Parliaments Anniversary which will fall in 2007.
