For Freedom Alone revisits the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath and the story that has grown around it. The author questions later narratives of a dramatic public signing and examines how heritage interpretation has shaped modern understanding.

Presenting the declaration as a significant piece of medieval political writing, the book assesses its arguments about sovereignty, the role of the nobility, and emerging ideas of national identity. Comparative context places Scotland among the more innovative political thinkers of the period.
