New Info Regarding the Safe Conduct Letter!

For any of you who read my post several months ago about the Wallace Safe Conduct Letter you'll find this information as exciting as I! It seems that they have found that the letter is actually the original French document and not an English copy as the English historians said before. So it is looking up for us getting it up to Scotland! Here's a link to the information. Or you can go to The Society of William Wallace.

I'll be keeping you posted about any new installments as soon as I find out about them! We can only hope that by next year, the Safe Conduct Letter will be back in Scotland where it belongs. It would be a very nice start to a next year. If enough people get involved, I think we can all make it happen, so please do all you can to help! Just caring is enough sometimes.

Please Read This!

David R. Ross the late Scottish historian, had for years campaigned the return of a rightful Scottish artifact to its home country. The artifact is a letter of safe conduct that was given to William Wallace by King Philip of France in 1300 when he was traveling abroad, campaigning Scotland's cause. The letter, signed by the French king, was so he would have a safe journey and a good introduction to the pope when he went to the Vatican to plead help for Scotland. The Society of William Wallace has now put David's wishes into action and have a petition up for signing to all who are concerned. You can go to The Society of William Wallace website to find more information on the letter of safe conduct and find a link to the petition. Please, if you love William Wallace, if you love Scotland, SIGN!!! Remember, we got the Stone of Destiny back in 1996. It's time for another artifact to be brought back to its rightful home. This is something that means a lot to every true Scottish heart, so do your duty and help to bring it back!
