Last week we were thrilled to meet a delegation from the University of the Faroe Islands to discuss potential future collaborations. They were in Scotland partly in connection with the Faroese Flag Day celebrations that were held in Edinburgh on 25 April. 🇫🇴🏴.
Even at the Edinburgh City Chamber on Royal Mile, the flag "Merkið" waves on Faroese Flag Day🇫🇴🏴
