Return of the Wallace Safe Conduct Letter

To:  Chief Executive of The National Archives, Kew

We, the undersigned, petition Natalie Ceeney, Chief Executive of The National Archives, Kew, to ensure the safe return to Scotland of the Safe Conduct Letter from the King of France Philip IV (reference number SC 1/30 m.81 ) carried by Sir William Wallace on his capture at Robroyston, 3rd August 1305. It is patently wrong that such a valuable artefact is held in a drawer in London, when the person to whom it relates is Scottish. The letter itself was seized with Sir William and was thuis stolen from Scotland in the first place. It must be returned to Scotland for display in the National Museum in Edinburgh, so that all Scots (and visitors to Scotland) have full rights of access to view this historic document.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
