Narrative:
Enroute; the first officer's FD failed and the 'no land three' message appeared. A little later the captain's FD failed. In the vicinity of the top of descent the first officer's ADI and HSI failed with the 'sg' failure message on both screens. We declared an emergency because of multiple failures and the captain became the pilot flying. We landed without incident.
