Hi all š
Today marks the 700th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath, a letter sent to the Pope on 6th April 1320, declaring Scotland as an independant nation.
Many of us were intending visiting this historic town today to mark the occasion & on Saturday to march for independance for Scotland. With the current global pandemic, all plans were rightly shelved and the march postponed.
I therefore bring Arbroath to you, so we can all be there in spirit, if not in body.

Hello Arbroath – What a lovely selection of images! š
Thanks, Ruth š Can’t wait to get back there again when this is all over š
It’s a bugger being stuck indoors, isn’t it…
Still getting out once a day with my wife for our daily exercise (masks & gloves at the ready) whilst we’re still allowed. We tend to be out around six in the morning when the place is pretty much deserted š
This is geat Jez. Thanks for bringing Arbroath to us when we can’t go to Arbroath. Lovely collection of images to mark such an important anniversary.
