From: Norman Bassett, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Steve I was looking at "The Scotsman" newspaper on microfilm yesterday for about 3.5 hours - Cullen Inquiry stuff 2 May 1996-11 July 1996. On 1 June 1996 The Scotsman reported: "Mrs Ogilvie told the third day of Lord Cullen's inquiry that a Scottish Television car was regularly outside Hamilton's house. Police cars were also parked outside the house 'once or twice a month. Quite often a police car was there'." I was attempting to find an article I remembered reading at the time in which McMurdo's police chauffeur said that he'd been a regular visitor to Hamilton's house for a couple of hours about once a fortnight. I failed to find that report in The Scotsman, but the item I DID find clearly points to my recollection being correct but maybe I was looking in the wrong newspaper. Looking through so much microfilm is not easy on the eyes or the concentration. The Scottish Television car was run by a cameraman who gave evidence, incidentally. My impression is that of 169 witnesses the testimony of about 30 was directly reported in The Scotsman. Some days there was nothing at all and a lot of the time just a snippet. More of a comic than a "news" paper, but aren't they all? Clearly we need access to the Cullen Inquiry transcripts without having to travel to Edinburgh for it. Are there any Cybershooters living in Glasgow?
