trektodayA plan to build a memorial to Star Trek’s Montgomery Scott in Aberdeen, Scotland may fail due to concerns about copyright and cost.
The Press and Journal reported that Aberdeen councillors had been warned that “Copyright and design issues may prove too restrictive in commemorating the character” of Scotty, according to the council’s head of economic development, Rita Stephen. The council had hoped to build a statue representing Scotty, who called himself an “old Aberdeen pub crawler” in the original series episode “Wolf in the Fold.”
