Angus,
Dubious origin (of the Lewis chess pieces I assume?) No doubt about it. Money and tourists coming to Scotland through this? No doubt either. I do know through Paul's work that Mike Russell wants updated regularly on the chess front particularly in more rural communities and Nicola Sturgeon went to Greenwood Academy which has a no bad chess pedigree over the last thirty seven years or so (She opened the impressive rebuilt school). They are open to ideas, whether financially they are able to support them, that is a different matter,
Robin.
