Delighted to be in Mainz to present at the launch of the ‘Teaching Scotland’ community, to see all the great work in Scottish Studies being done by our friends there, and to share some of the great teaching resources from the Association for Scottish Literature with German teachers. @asls.org.uk

Back in Alloway today, taking our US students to the birthplace
