sands of Scottish people throughout the
world have signed it. The number of
signatures obtained is so great that il has
taken five bulky volumes to contain them
The books are now placed in the Art Gal

undertaken their custody. The protest
was first made on the field of Bannock-
burn in June. 1901. few months after
