You are quite correct; I did say "from Scran". What I did NOT say was from the Scran website. I said I got it from the europeana site and if you care to look at the exact location,
http://www.europeana.eu/portal/record/0 ... 3B44E.html
you will see that the contributor is "The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland" and that the provider is "Scran". Looks fairly legit to me but maybe I'm naive.

I only wanted to learn about No 59 Washington Street and I greatly appreciate the constructive and informative help provided by Robert Pool.
I certainly had no desire to be "dextered" "bextered" or even "fextered" thank you most kindly.

If, by the way, the photo posted does contravene some regulations, mods please do what is necessary.

I think Dexter's point was that SCRAN (and RCHAMS) are very aggressive in pursuing use of their photos online (I don't see why that should be the case since we, the public, fund their work and should be able to freely see the results, but that's a different argument), and that therefore both you and the forum are put at risk by use of an image from there.

No offence was intended by, certainly, my post, and I'm reasonably sure by Dexter's either.

We're still waiting on an update on that red Telephone Box of yours, btw.

No,no,no! Sorry Josef. Certainly no offence taken from either you or Dexter. A tongue in cheek retort, I'm afraid. I just hope to God my sense of humour isn't turning French.
But I probably am still naive in having used the pic, so lesson learnt.
Point taken about the telephone box - a local landmark now, and will take some fresh photos.
