Notes

1. Personal discussions with a source that worked with the senior civil servant responsible for drawing up the legislation claims the obfuscation the wording caused was deliberately intended to reduce financial obligations on local government.

2. This is required in addition to, and to collate, the work currently undertaken by various Scottish academic institutions, such as Queen Margaret University and Glasgow University's Centre for Cultural Policy Research.

3. “I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning” – Plato

4. At the time of her appointment as Culture Minister in 2004, the media reported the supposed disappointment of Patricia Ferguson at her new role.
