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
