I want to add that my friend Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer teaches there: http://www.abdn.ac.uk/divinity/staff/details.php?id=l.s.tiemeyer
ReplyDeleteShe is an excellent scholar. Both Tomas and Lena-Sofia are from Sweden – we are taking over this institution!
Tommy, I think they were trying to attract students.

I believe that the castles which I mentioned in the post were largely built in response to the tendency of various persons of Norse descent to visit Scotland.
ReplyDeleteBeing prowdly of Norwegian descent, I am not allowed to forgo an opportunity to pick on a Swede. : )
Did you ever hear about the Swedish boy who asked his teacher, "I been de biggest boy in de tird grade. Is de because I been a Svede?" "No," his teacher answered, "it's because you're seventeen."
