Lack of ambition claim over university access scheme
A £1.8 million scheme to increase the number of Scottish students from deprived areas entering professions which are traditionally the preserve of the middle class has been attacked for a lack of ambition.
The scheme, which funds widening access projects at universities including Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow and St Andrews, will result in only a handful of additional students being recruited from under-represented groups.

Flood risk to millions in UK is growing
New research shows up to two million people in the UK - including almost 130,000 Scots - are at risk of flooding because they live in built-up areas where there is limited drainage and less grass and woodland to soak up rainfall.
The research, carried out at Dundee University and to be presented to the Royal Geographical Society this week, predicts that unless planners take climate change into account, the threat could rise by around 50 per cent to affect 3.2 million by 2050.
