Declarations on Freedom for Writers and Readers

Conceived and realised by Scottish PEN, this anthology of poetry and prose explores freedom of expression. The year 2020 marks the 700th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath, a letter to the Pope from the Scottish Nobles asking for the freedom to exist as a nation. The need to hear and understand each other is as urgent now as it ever was.
