THE Scottish Catholic Archives will close tomorrow after mould was discovered on parts of the collection.

Some items now need urgent conservation work after suffering from dampness in Columba House, Edinburgh, for 30 years.

The oldest records, including letters from Mary Queen of Scots, will be loaned to Aberdeen University’s Special Collections Centre.
