To get some ideas about how we can develop the Edinburgh Uni presence on SL I thought I should get out and look at what other unis are doing. Paisley University have a presence called Second Scotland, subtitled a celebration of Scottish culture and innovation. Scottish culture seems to comprise Nessie, Scottish country dancing, sheep, shortbread and Irn Bru... so who drank all the buckie? I hope they are being ironic; it shows that post-modernism is alive and well and residing in Renfrew. Except, there is a really beautiful recreation of a traditional Scottish Italian chip shop, which some un-named person has put a lot of love into. Educationally, you have to ask "why?", but then "why not": it's a bit of Scottish culture worth celebrating.
