-|- Reviews
A one-stop source book on how Scotland works. The Directory of Scotland's Organisations is the key to almost 2000 organisations which operate across Scotland. Organisations listed vary from those set up by the state for governing the country to small, single-issue and self-help groups. In addition there are charities, trade and professional associations, hobby societies and special interest groups.
The Directory is an alphabetic listing and description of the organisations with 30 keyword indexes to help the reader pinpoint a single society or find a range of organisations operating in the same field.
For business the potential of the book is considerable - as a source of marketing information, as a ready-reference to the principal government departments, to identify associated trade and professional bodies and to locate possible PR opportunities. The Directory will be a considerable time-saver, bringing together in a coherent format a wealth of information which otherwise would need to be sought from numerous sources.
