Poets & Printers

March 2009

After the morning’s visit to the Writers Museum and the Scottish Poetry Library, Edinburgh, some brain food is needed!

Smiles all round as Agata, Lyndsey, Lesley-Ann and Christiane tuck into their fish suppers!

MSc Publishing students enjoy some traditional fish and chips outside a habour take-away. This wee seaside fishing village has one of the best chippers in Scotland!

Braving the cold and tucking in!

Then it’s back on the bus and off to the printers.

Based in Haddington, Scotprint is the Edinburgh branch of the Montgomery Litho Group (MLG). The MLG commercial printing service comprises: Hunter and Foulis, bookbinding specialists of over 150 years; Scotprint, large format printing specialists; and MLG Edinburgh, offering end-to-end commercial printing services.

MSc Publishing students were treated to an indepth and informative tour of the high-end, large-scale Scotprint plant and facilities.

Huge thanks to all at MLG for their care and attention, not to mention their patience with all our questions!
