Hi Sue, I am registered at the Scotsman (and have been for years). I live in Canada and have not received this email that your friend received. I went in to have a look at the Digital Archive and all I can find is a few articles thay have opened for Tartan week - no freebees that I can see for anyone! Hope your friend enjoys their access to it. Barbara
