La Giraudiere South West France Partners Scotland
 From
the historic 'Auld Alliance' to present day trading links, there as
always been strong alliance between France and Scotland. Today, France
is one of Scotland's largest overseas markets, offering opportunities
across many sectors. We at La Giraudiere are trying to continue that
alliance by offering information on Scotland and links to it's partners
within Scotland.
The
Auld Alliance or Vieille
Alliance in Francais refers to a series of treaties, offensive and
defensive in nature, between Scotland and France aimed specifically
against England "the old foe". The first agreement was
signed on 23
October 1295 subsequently ratified at Dunfermline the following
February. ~ |

It
was renewed on several subsequent occasions, and affected
Franco -  Scottish affairs
until the Treaty of
Edinburgh in 1560.
There were times when the two nations acquired considerable mutual
benefit from the alliance, particularly after the outbreak of the
Hundred Years War.The Auld Alliance wasn’t simply a military
alliance, it was based on a
long-established friendship founded on the Scots love of French wine. ~
