Pity that my appeal for old attic newspapers didn’t get the slightest reply !!!! :(

Note: What the archeives are unable to publish, are the "attic" publications from Campbeltown. Why ? As probably nothing was ever sent to London ! :)

When I listened to the BBC report about this archive..., I said to myself that is was another trick to push you to enter the National Archives Internet site, before asking for money for any information transfer.

But it’s all free and online ! Just been reading some Edinburgh pages from 1800 I think !
