• An article (The Queen is dead, long live the King – or are the British monarchy’s days numbered?, 25 September, New Review, p16) included a comment from the author Catherine Mayer in which she mistakenly said Graham Smith of the campaign group Republic was quoted in her book, Charles: The Heart of a King, explaining that to transition from monarchy, “You just cross out ‘queen’ and write in ‘president’”. In fact, her book said this was the argument of “some British republicans”.
• The Scottish islands of Mull and Skye form part of the Inner Hebrides, not the Western Isles, as a travel article suggested. The latter is an alternative name for the Outer Hebrides (Once a year I lose myself in the Western Isles to walk and think – before going back to the life I love, 2 October, Magazine, p44).
• The town of Newmarket is in Suffolk, not Cambridgeshire, as an article said (RSA won’t approve our storm repairs, 2 October, p64).
