Quakers all over Britain were involved in commemorating Hiroshima Day on 6 August. Among the events that Friends in Scotland got involved in, Sue Bennett tells Eye, was the ‘Peace Tree’ displayed at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh. It was made by the Gareloch Horticulturalists, a group of women who, for twenty-seven years, have been campaigning for nuclear disarmament through nonviolent direct action.
