So, I took their advice and went to my local council library and the adjacent council library and neither have this book ['Currie on Confirmation of Executors'] which is not a surprise as it seems to cost £344.    When handing in the form for the second time, the more helpful clerk said that the letter used to direct you to the Mitchell Library in Glasgow.  So, I took a trip to Glasgow at the weekend but due to works in the library to do with asbestos, they can't access the area where the book is and said to come back in a week or two.   I was directed to the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh and they have said they don't have it but they have a reciprocal arrangement and can borrow from the Faculty of Advocates once I join the library.  

Just for the record: the above book is available from the reference desk of the 'Edinburgh Central Library', which is more-or-less on the opposite side of the road from the 'National Library of Scotland' in Edinburgh. It's only available for reference within that library - not for borrowing - but, for me, that sufficed: I had it out for a few hours; took a few notes; and took photos of some important pages. By far the most heavily-thumbed part of the book was 'Chapter 10 - Preparation of the Inventory.'
