Books of Royal Origins

by Emily Roberts on April 17, 2013

Back in the 1900s, books were donated to the National Library of Scotland by Hugh Sharp – a bibliophile slash Dundonian jute magnate. These books date back to 1795, and originally belonged to George Washington’s library. Today, Alex Salmond is going to loan the books to the US. Martyn McLaughlin tells us the complete story.
