Wallace Letters

Lodged by Christine Grahame SNP Lodged 16 Aug 2012 28 supporters

The motion

That this Parliament congratulates the Wallace Society on its successful campaign to have the Letter of Safe Conduct delivered to Scotland; understands that this and the Lubeck Letter are the only artefacts that trace their provenance to Wallace; commends the National Archives of Scotland for what it considers to be a splendid display of the letters in the Parliament, which includes a time-trail explaining the sequence of events in which the letters played their part; notes that, due to their fragility, they will be on view for five weeks only, and believes that it is particularly apposite that they should be on display in the Parliament as it reminds everyone of the man who fought and died for the independence of the nation.
