PROVO — "The Economics of Scottish Independence" will be the topic of a lecture by Jim S. Mather, member of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish National Party spokesman for Enterprise and the Economy on Thursday at 11 a.m. in 238 Herald R. Clark Building at Brigham Young University.
Mather is the founding director of the Scotland Funds, an initiative to parlay the wealth of U.S. citizens with Scottish ancestry back to Scotland. He modeled the effort on a similar group established in Ireland in 1987 that now assists with 200 projects there annually.
The lecture will be archived online. For information on Kennedy Center events, see the calendar and news and events online at kennedy.byu.edu.
