DECLARATION OF ARBROATH

That this House notes that the Declaration of Arbroath has been recognised as a UNESCO Memory of the World; welcomes the recognition of the international importance of the document and its influence on democracy and the significant impact on the Declaration of American Independence; recognises the long campaign for recognition of the importance of the Declaration; and hopes that, now this has been recognised, UNESCO will again look at granting world heritage status to Arbroath Abbey.
