Scotsman Archive Alert

DavidWW · Post by **DavidWW** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 9:15 am

No promises and no guarantees, but on 30th November 2005, and 2004, access was free for the 24 hour period at http://archive.scotsman.com/ .

Hovever, be warned that the site was heavily overloaded on previous occasions, so stay up late, or get up early to get onto the site asap after midnight, always assuming, of course, that the 24hr free access offer is repeated.

Although I'm a West coast man, I believe that Edinburgh is also on GMT

Hmmmmm....... as of 07:41 GMT on 30th November, that sadly appears to be the case......

And there was me pleased with myself that I'd thought to warn folk in advance

Happy St Andrew's Day

I think Scotsman Publications has changed ownership within the past year. Maybe it is not the policy of the new owners to give out this useful freebie.

All the best,

How about a St. Andrew's day freebie on SP!
