I understand that the Sunday Herald have accepted that their report of this matter was inaccurate and they agreed to publish a letter from the Court of the Lord Lyon in a subsequent edition. I understand, too, that the Lord Lyon has written to you to explain the background. I have no further comment to offer on matters which are for the independent Lyon Court to consider.
