Bothwell Historical Society petition to Scottish Parliament

News

The petition we raised to the Scottish Parliament regarding protection of Scottish battlefields attracted 1,245 on-line signatures and a further 77 local signings. The petition was closed to further signings on 25th June.

Of the on-line signings many originated in Scotland, many from other UK sources and a large number from all around the world. We were happy at the final numbers and the petition has now gone to the Petitions Committee for consideration to be submitted to Parliament. How long that procedure takes is unknown, we now have to wait for a response from Parliament.
