ROYAL SCOTTISH MUSEUM
The Scottish Philatelic Society of Edinburgh, the oldest philatelic society in Scotland, haa, by. kind permission of the director, arrang- d to display in the Royal Scottish Museum specialised collections of British and foreign stamps. which should secure the interest of all philatelists. This
exhibit will serve as a model of how such collec tions are written up for interna tional exhibitions, and should guide philatelists in the efficient mousting of their treasures.
Prior to their being put on..view in Edinburgh, it was decided that they should be displayed in Lou- don, where it is anticipated, owing to their unique character, that they will attract a great deal of atten- tion, not only among Scots, but also among Londoners in general. Permission to hold this perliminary exhibition in London was granted by the committee of the Museum, of which the chairman is the Duke- of Atholl, to whose initiative the scheme of having the sculptures made was largely due.
