The Thyne Scholarship is the most prestigious scholarship that ESU
Scotland can award, and enables young Scots to travel to a country or
countries of their choice to study and research their own particular
vocation. In delivering a fresh insight into how professions in other
countries tackle their problems, the hope has always been that this
knowledge benefits not only the individual scholar, but also Scotland.
Extract from the Deed of Trust establishing the Scholarship:
I direct the said National Committee of the English Speaking Union of
the Commonwealth for Scotland after deduction by them of such expenses
as may from time to time be the Landlords responsibility in respect of
the upkeep, maintenance and other outgoings of Twenty two Atholl
Crescent, Edinburgh, or other property which may come to represent the
same, for which expenses the said National Committee of the English
Speaking Union of the Commonwealth for Scotland shall be responsible,
to apply the income received by them from the said British Linen Bank
or their foresaids in terms of these presents as directed in Clause 8,
Purpose (c) of the said Deed of Trust, namely, for the furtherance,
encouragement or improvement of relations and friendship and mutual
knowledge and understanding in the English speaking world by offering
every year a travelling scholarship or scholarships to be known as "The
William Thyne Travelling Scholarship" or "Scholarships"; The said
National Committee of the English Speaking Union of the Commonwealth
for Scotland shall be the sole judges as to all matters pertaining to
the Scholarship or Scholarships and it shall be left to their
discretion entirely as to the manner of selection of a scholar or
scholars, the country or countries for which the Scholarship or
Scholarships will be granted and all other matters relating to the
Scholarship or Scholarships.
