This is the letter I sent to the Moderator of the Church of Scotland on the date shown. I had hoped to publish both this letter and any reply but regretfully no answer has thus far been received and I am concerned, given the topic involved, that officialdom may prefer to ignore rather than replying and becoming possibly embroiled in constitutional matters. My problem with such a tactic is that it allows the illegal and fraudulent theft of Scotland’s assets to continue unchallenged yet again. Therefore I decided to publish my letter now and will of course publish any reply from the Church if it ever arrives before the ceremony on the 5th July 2023. In the past the Church of Scotland did take a lead in defending Scotland’s Constitution. I for one would welcome them doing so again.
12th June 2023.

The Moderator of the Church of Scotland

Dear Madam
I write in connection to the announced plan to use the Honours of Scotland in a follow up connection with the ascension of Charles 111 to the English Throne earlier this year.
To my knowledge King Charles has not taken the Scottish Coronation oath. He pledged only to a small excerpt of the 1689 Claim of Right so is a long way short of being considered as King of Scots.
As you will be fully aware the Union of the Crowns in 1603 is a myth. What in fact occurred was that one Monarch, the King of Scots also became Monarch of England at the same time. In other words he became a King with two Crowns, that were never United. Ever since every effort has been made to disguise this fact and Charles visit to Edinburgh is just the latest episode in this sorry tale.
The 5th July event will try to convey that King Charles III of England is already King of Scotland, but he can’t be for two reasons.
First, there has never been nor can there be a “King of Scotland” because the People, not a monarch, are sovereign. Second, Charles III can’t become King of Scots without taking the Scottish Oath, referenced in the 1689 Claim of Right and required by Scots law for a legitimate monarch.
That oath binds him to uphold and never transfer or undermine the rights, rents and privileges of the Scottish Crown. The Scottish Crown is different from the English. It represents the sovereignty of the People of Scotland. Rather than the People swearing fealty to him as under the English Crown, he must swear it to the People.
My late father, who was a minister in the Church of Scotland himself , educated me on these matters and he was intensely proud of the Kirk’s role in defending Scotland’s best interests during those troubling and difficult times.
I am writing to you seeking your assurance that while I fully expect Charles 111 to be treated with all respect, as should every foreign visitor, no suggestion should be made that he is the duly constituted King of Scots until he has taken the Scottish Coronation Oath and that while he may view the Honours of Scotland he holds no right to assume ownership of them.
I hope and fully expect it will be possible for the Church of Scotland to host this event in a manner that protects and enhances the sovereignty of the Scottish People rather than as a party in a fraud that has gone on for centuries and is responsible for the wholesale rape of Scotland’s assets to the great detriment of the Scottish People.
Yours sincerely

BEAT THE CENSORS
Sadly some websites seek to censor what their readers have access to read. This is particularly true of sites whose existence is primarily to support the views of one particular party and they seek to block articles which do not slavishly support that particular doctrine. My readers have worked out that the best way to defeat that attack on the freedom of speech and thought is to share my articles widely, thus defeating any attempt at censorship. My thanks for this.
SALVO AND LIBERATION
Are playing a crucial role in taking Independence forward. This site limits donations to Yours for Scotland to a maximum of £3. We do not need more as all we seek to do is to cover the costs incurred in running the blog therefore once this is secured each year all further donations are forwarded to Salvo and Liberation. My thanks for all who choose to support us in this way. It is appreciated.
