Declaration of Arbroath Decoration

The single event for which Arbroath is best known is the issuing of the letter known as the Declaration of Arbroath from the abbey on 6th April 1320.

Sent on behalf of the nobles of Scotland to Pope John XXII, it's extraordinarily eloquent plea for the recognition of Scotland’s autonomy continues to resonate today. Forty nobles, barons and freemen affixed their seals to the Declaration.

This exclusive decoration handmade using traditional techniques is inspired by this historical event.
