A PLAQUE commemorating the end to the legal support of slavery in Scots law has been unveiled in Edinburgh.
In a speech at the unveiling ceremony, Scotland’s most senior judge Lord Carloway said that the country’s complicity in the slave trade should not be glossed over.
The plaque, which sits inside the Court of Session in Edinburgh, commemorates the 1778 judgment in Knight v Wedderburn, which established that Scots law would no longer support slavery.
