Bureaucracy vs. Boldness: The Scottish Way
Scotland used to offer a post-study visa. It was working—until Westminster scrapped it in 2012. Enrolments from India and Nigeria plummeted, and Scotland lost an estimated £254 million.
Now, Scotland’s fighting to bring it back.
The UK says, “No—Too Complex”.
Scotland says, “Watch Us.”

Scotland’s message is loud and clear: We’re Ready for the World, and We Want the World to Stay.

Passports: The Tiny Book with Big Secrets
A passport may seem small, but it hides some big surprises. Queen Elizabeth II never needed one, while Ramses II got an Egyptian passport in 1974, with his job listed as “King (deceased)” to fly his body to Paris. Some passports even light up under UV light, like those from Norway and Canada, while Finland’s has a Moose that walks as you flip the pages. Tonga once sold passports for $20,000, and there’s even a “World Passport” accepted by a few countries. While most worry about expiry dates, over half of Americans don’t even have one! This tiny book holds some truly fascinating stories. (Know More: Unusual Passport Facts)

The paisley motif, seen on pashmina shawls, has a rich journey. Originating in Persia as a symbol of eternity, it found new life in Kashmir’s intricate designs. The pattern gained fame in Scotland, where Paisley town weavers gave it a distinctly European twist in the 19th century. Today, the paisley is a global icon, showing how art travels, transforms, and tells stories across cultures. (Source)
