The Beginnings of Commercialism in Sport (Or was it always There?)
By Professor Wray Vamplew University of Edinburgh Sports historians generally accept that ‘modern’ sport and commercial activity were intertwined from the mid nineteenth century, but I would argue that sport had a commercial aspect many centuries before if we accept that any of the following featured. An element of commodification in which someone was willing […]
Scottish Football and Data Analysis

By Grant Jarvie Jake Barrett, Ellen Frank Delgado, Neil McGillivray, Mason Robbins, Michael Rovatsos, John Scott, and Paul Widdop.Scottish football is undoubtedly a real pillar of connectivity, both locally and internationally, something that is not always grasped, understood or capitalised upon by the Scottish Government or maximised by individual football clubs and we can and […]
The Making of the Caman “An elegant weapon, graceful to wield” -
Dr Hugh D MacLennan, Academy of Sport, Edinburgh University In the year when the art of making a caman or shinty stick was officially designated “critically endangered” the 2019 Dr Johnnie Cattanach Memorial Lecture at the Highland Folk Museum, focussed on the art and history of making the caman. The caman is, along with the […]
Sail-training and intercultural learning: Voices from the sea
By Yujun Xu University of Edinburgh • Research suggests that sail-training at sea provides an alternative space for intercultural learning and that the confinement of the ship provides for an opportunity for transformative cultural experiences- but is this the case ? Enabling generation z to develop intercultural competences and become international citizens with obligations to others […]

‘Avalon’ The Embassy, Roxy Art House, 2 Roxburgh Place, Edinburgh EH8 9SU 19.06.10 – 11.07.10 The relentless association, from the Renaissance onwards, of the Middle Ages with the ‘hypereconomy’ of the gift, with whatever exceeds calculation or rationality, for good or for ill, has made the Middle Ages a marker of fantasy and excess (…), […]

Compatibility of temporal spectra with Kolmogorov (1941) and with random sweeping
Compatibility of temporal spectra with Kolmogorov (1941) and with random sweeping. I previously wrote about temporal frequency spectra, in the context of the Taylor hypothesis and a uniform convection velocity of $U_c$, in my post of 25 February 2021. At the time, I said that I would return to the more difficult question of what […]
Summary of Kolmogorov-Obukhov (1941) theory. Part 1: some preliminaries in x-space and k-space.
Summary of Kolmogorov-Obukhov (1941) theory. Part 1: some preliminaries in $x$-space and $k$-space. Discussions of the Kolmogorov-Obukhov theory often touch on the question: can the two-thirds law; or, alternatively, the minus five-thirds law, be derived from the equations of motion (NSE)? And the answer is almost always: ‘no, they can’t’! Yet virtually every aspect of […]
Can statistical theory help with turbulence modelling?
Can statistical theory help with turbulence modelling? When reading the book by Sagaut and Cambon some years ago, I was struck by their balance between fundamentals and applications [1]. This started me thinking, and it appeared to me that I had become ever more concentrated on fundamentals in recent years. In other words, I seemed […]
The infinite-Reynolds number limit: a first look
The infinite-Reynolds number limit: a first look. I notice that MSRI at Berkeley have a programme next year on math problems in fluid dynamics. The primary component seems to be an examination of the relationship between the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, `in the zero-viscosity limit’. The latter is, of course, the same as the limit […]
