Dear Mr Whittet

There will be no problem in granting permission to use this image for a contribution to such an admirable venture as Wikipedia (my opinion). It fulfils all the criteria to be classed as non-profit and educational. Can you give me the title or subject of the article and I will send a formal letter giving permission as a Word attachment.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Pete Milne

Hi, I would like to use a screen shot of the scale on a map entitled Milaria Scotia Regum - 1595 which you have on your website for a wikipedia article http://www.nls.uk/digitallibrary/map/early/scotland.cfm?id=130# your copyright for this page says

Copyright Screen prints may be made of these maps for non-commercial educational and private purposes. Written permission must be obtained in advance to reproduce any digital material from the Library's collections, whether in hard copy or electronic forms. http://www.nls.uk/collections/maps/services/reprographics/permission.html

I'm unclear as to whether a screen capture for wikipedia meets your definition of non-commercial - educational and is permitted without filling out the form or whether you require the form because you would consider putting it on a page online a digital reproduction?

regards,

steve
