Madam, - Your Editorial of January 17th refers to Gordon Brown as "the first putative Scottish prime minster since Harold Macmillan". I would have thought that Tony Blair, who was born and educated in Scotland, has a better claim on that score than the London-born old Etonian Macmillan. - Yours, etc,
