If you’ve been anywhere near some rooftops recently, you’ve probably heard the shouting about it already – but it’s official, ScotNet is an award-winning network (see the News page for more details of our recent win at the ITI Awards), and it would be remiss of me not to start this issue by mentioning that!

As delightful as they are, of course, recognising ScotNet as an inspiring collection of people goes beyond the baubles of awards. As this issue illustrates, it’s about what we do – whether that means attending our spring or summer workshops, conducting university research, keeping up a second language, committing to CPD or giving our time to volunteering in the network. And that’s before we even mention news of gaining PhDs and being published in literary magazines! I hope this issue illustrates to you, as it did to me, our sheer range of interests and – to put it in black and white – our dedication to being really good at our jobs.

As one of our article writers said to me in an email exchange, ScotNet has something special going on – long may it continue, and happy reading.
