The Scotsman reports that pupils at a Lothians high school are forging links with China ahead of this year’s Beijing Olympics.

Bathgate Academy is pairing up with Weifang Middle School – built on the site of the Japanese internment camp in which Edinburgh sprinter Eric Liddell died.

The pupils will also take part in workshops on Chinese culture, including drama, dance, tai chi, storytelling and puppet making. The move is part of China Now, a nationwide celebration of links between Scotland and China.
