Declaration of Arbroath will not go on display for now

From the National Records of Scotland (www.nrscotland.gov.uk):

Following advice from the UK and Scottish Government to help delay the spread of Covid-19/Corona virus we have taken the decision, in consultation with the National Museum of Scotland, to postpone the exhibition of the Declaration of Arbroath later this month.

We understand that many people have been looking forward to seeing this iconic document but our top priority at this time is public safety and the wellbeing of staff.

Further news will be made available on this in due course at www.nrscotland.gov.uk/news/2020/declaration-of-arbroath-display-postponed
