Priscilla Bawcutt, “I was particularly fortunate in the timing of my stay, since it introduced me to a number of scholars who shared similar interests, with whom I had many fruitful discussions. One of these was the Director himself, Professor Willie Beattie, who showed me great kindness while I was in Edinburgh.”
