Palestinian orphan fostered in Renton takes effigy of Robert the Bruce’s heart to Jerusalem

A Palestinian orphan who was adopted by a Renton family over 30 years ago took a wooden heart in memory of Robert the Bruce 3,500 miles to Jerusalem to honour the King’s dying wish.

Simon Collings from Palestine was brought up in Renton and is an ambassador for the Robert the Bruce Heritage Centre in the town.

The centre’s mission is to educate and promote Robert the Bruce’s importance to Renton, where he lived his final three years and died.
