Bomb Menace In Scotland
TO WIPE OUT
THE
INSULT
Kirkcaldy, May 6.
A home-made bomb with a letter threatening the life of Queen Elizabeth, was delivered to a house here today.
The Queen is to visit this part of Scotland next month. The bomb, containing 12 ounces of gelignite, arrived in a
safe condition.
Will Not Be Safe
But the note with it warned; "One wo are contemplating using somewhere in Fifeshire on June 30, whilst perhaps not being of the same design, will definitely not be safe and will wipe out the insult of June, 1953." This was the month in which the Queen was crowned "Elizabeth the Second"-a title strongly attacked by Scots nationalists who say the first Elizabeth was only Queen of England.
The note and the bomb were sent to 37-year-old local
journalist, Mr Alan Mackay.
Mr Mackay was asked in the note: "Please forward this bomb to the appropriate authorities and notify the Scottish public that English insults will no longer be tolerated."
To Visit Colliery
When the Queen and Prince Philip tour Fife on June 30, they are due to visit a colliery near here and then have lunch with the Kirkcaldy magistrates and councillors..
