Abstract: This article is the lightly revised text of a lecture given at a conference in Dublin in October 2004 organised by the Society of Archivists, Ireland and the National Archive Advisory Council (Ireland). The article discusses the Scottish Public Records Strategy which is reviewing the regulation of archives in Scotland following freedom of information legislation, and makes some comparisons with the Irish position. It argues that an independent advisory council is an important guarantor of the wider public interest in archives.
