IN an article published in The Northern Echo yesterday, it was reported incorrectly that the Royal Scots Guards have the British Army's fourth worst record for drug abuse.

The unit listed in statistics released by the Ministry of Defence was, in fact, the Royal Scots. We would like to apologise for the error and for any embarrassment which may have been caused.

IN the Northern Echo last Thursday, we ran an appeal on behalf of the Beamish Museum for pictures of old trams. The correct telephone number to ring museum staff is 0191-370 4000, and not 270 4000 as was published. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
