A copy of the United States Declaration of Independence discovered in an attic in Scotland has sold at auction for more than £3 million.
The signer’s copy, one of only six known to still be in private hands, is a representation of the original 1776 document that declared the independence of Britain’s 13 American colonies.
It was presented to the only Catholic Founding Father Charles Carroll of Carrollton, who was one of the signers of the declaration and later a United States senator.
