Scots In London (SIL) promotes Scottish charities and has close links with ScotsCare, formerly known as The Royal Scottish Corporation, the 403 year old charity for needy Scots living in London, and Eddie Tait of Scots In London is the youngest trustee. SIL is keen to promote the cause of key Scottish charities, such as ScotsCare and Borderline (a homeless charity) and also groups such as London Scottish Rugby Club. To keep pace with increasing demands, Scots In London plans to launch a new website in 2007 and also launch a business club. People joining the Scots In London network are increasingly coming from all corners of Scotland. The Scots in London network was predominantly focussed around individuals and clubs and societies from London and the home counties in the beginning. However, there is a growing number of communters and high-flyers from Edinburgh and Glasgow, and other areas north of the border, now signing up, as well as more dynamic and passionate Scots from around the globe. SIL is delighted to have three Scottish celebrity ambassadors - rugby legend Kenny Logan, young Scottish tenor Nicky Spence and distinguished songwriter Bill Martin of Congratulations and Puppet on a String fame. With public support, Scots In London hopes to lobby for a Scottish cultural centre in London to organise key high-profile, one-off joint Scottish events or a week of celebration in London to commemorate St Andrew's Day, Tartan Day (6 April) or Burns Day (January 25).
