New Links Added - 16 June 2005 - # 2


- Criminal Justice Scotland - News Blog - CjScotland first appeared as a simple news blog in October 2003 - the site now (May 2005) receives around 500 visitor sessions a day, about two-thirds of whom are repeat readers. Some users work in official agencies such as the Prison Service, criminal justice social work and the police; others work in voluntary organisations; some are members of the 'public', some are in prison and others are students, teachers, academics, researchers and policy makers. - CjScotland was awarded a year's grant by the Scottish Executive with effect from September 2004. The grant was intended to support the viability and development of the site for 12 months after which it is hoped that longer term strategies will be in place. CjScotland remains an independent project. This is the only funding the site has attracted since start-up in October 2003, other than small sums for specific purposes from the universities of Strathclyde and Glasgow

- Maidenkirk to John o' Groats - Home after 25 years furth of Scotland, a retired dominie reflects on the culture, politics, media, weather, gossip, and daily life of the land of the mountain and the flood.

- Mike Rumbles - The Real Alternative - I am standing for the leadership of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, and in this site hopefully you will find everything you need to know to persuade you to support me.
