What is 'described as ‘ An interesting relic, believed to be part of the 
standard pole borne at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, ’’ has been given 
to Arbroath Museum. It would be interesting to know what possible- 
evidence there is of such a statement. 
A Museum has recently been opened at Hartlepool, thus following 
the example of its neighbour, West Hartlepool. At present the museum, 
appears to be under the wing of the Library, but no doubt as the town 
progresses this state of things will be improved upon.
