hi - the main WH Smith in town here are supplied by Menzies - the scottish version - but in our area they refuse to get any of the quality scottish papers :-(( am getting copies posted down - the article was about my husbands great grand uncle x 9 signing the death warrant for Mary Queen of Scots who was born in my home town of Linlithgow - we think its hilarious lol christine - what photos did they use - the chap they sent out took hundreds of them - did the living room look tidy enough???? getting nervous about the interview with BBC Radio Scotland tomorrow though - live at 9.30 - they want my views on Scottish schools phasing out history lessons.

Hi Sheila, Sorry I didn't answer you, been out at the pictures. The piccy they used was you sitting at a table with lots of old pictures on it and I think the computer behind you. You have been a busy girl, becoming quite the celebrity. BTW Loved your comment about you being the Scottish Revenge for hubby's ancestor signing the declaration.LOL I'll be listening in tomorrow, gie it laldy girl! Christine

Congratulations Sheila. I love to hear all these interesting stories . You should write a book about your family, and your claim to fame. Would we be able to read the article on the web? I may try a google search. All the best Susan
