Framed Declaration of arabroath.

One of the most powerful statements of freedom ever written.

The Declaration of Arbroath, signed on 6 April 1320, stands as a defining moment in Scottish history. Written to affirm Scotland’s independence, its words still echo centuries later as a reminder of the enduring human desire for freedom and self-determination.

This framed print features the most famous passage from the Declaration — a line that has come to symbolise Scotland’s unwavering spirit:

“It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom — for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.”

Presented on an aged parchment-style background with traditional lettering and historic styling, this piece captures the feeling of a document that could have been lifted from another age.

Perfect for:

• Scottish heritage homes
• history lovers and collectors
• patriotic Scottish décor
• gifts for those proud of their Scottish roots
• clan and ancestry themed interiors

Whether displayed in a study, living room, or heritage collection, this artwork honours a moment when Scotland declared its determination to remain free.

A striking historical piece celebrating one of Scotland’s greatest declarations.

Many historians believe the Declaration of Arbroath helped inspire the principles later echoed in the American Declaration of Independence — making this document one of the earliest written statements of national freedom.
