Stevenson Seeks Stamp of Approval for Declaration of Arbroath

Stewart Stevenson MSP has written to the Chief Executive of Royal Mail asking whether there are any plans to issue a commemorative stamp to mark the 700th Anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath.

Mr Stevenson is keen to find out what plans are in the pipeline for a special issue to commemorate the anniversary of the historic and iconic document.

Royal Mail released special stamps to mark the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta.

Commenting Mr Stevenson said:

“The Declaration of Arbroath is a unique document that is an iconic part of Scotland’s history and over the course of 2020, there will be events taking place all over the country to celebrate its 700th anniversary.

“Collectors and stamp enthusiasts will know that Royal Mail has issued many special commemorative stamp covers to mark historic events and anniversaries, including the Magna Carter and the Battle of Hastings. So a commemorative stamp for the anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath certainly seems fitting, given the document’s importance to Scotland.

“I’ve contacted Royal Mail to find out what its plans are and whether there’s anything in their pipeline to celebrate the special anniversary of this amazing document.”
