    : In during some research there is a black

    : film at the National Library of Scotland
    : show the opening of the Queen's Bridge in
    : Perth Oct. 1960. I was wondering if there
    : was a member of this board who lives in
    : Edinburgh who can check this out and see if
    : there is a picture of the brooch even if it
    : is in B/W.
