The Declaration of Arbroath from 1320 painted rather beautifully on a piece of slate in the Boden Boo Car Park in Erskine near Glasgow. No idea why!

Went to see the #DeclarationOfArbroath at The National Museum of Scotland @ntlmuseumsscot
It felt strange to be so close to something so important, so iconic.
When we came out, we could see others had felt the same.
Last day to view this powerful document is the 2nd of July.
"It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours, that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself"
