[edit] Fair use for Alec Douglas-Home

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

It is a historically significant photo of a famous individual. [To strengthen the claim, consider adding sources to back up this claim, like news articles mentioning this image (and not simply using it)]
It is of much lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of very inferior quality.
The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because the photo and its historical significance are the object of discussion in the article.
