On this day in 1300, at Dumfries, Edward I granted the Scots a truce until May 1301, at Philip IV of France’s request. It ended a campaign whose siege of Caerlaverock Castle is recorded in a famous roll of arms. #OnThisDay #MedievalHistory #EdwardI

We're delighted to be part of this exciting project!
Saltmarshes do so much. They support wildlife - from migrating birds to natterjack toad - lock away carbon, and benefit coastal communities.🌿
Gathering new data is a key step in understanding these habitats so we can protect and champion them.
