Visa information
The websites www.ukvisas.gov.uk and www.fco.gov.uk have information about obtaining a visa for those travelling to the United Kingdom (which includes Scotland). This includes links to websites for U.K. embassies, high commissions and consulates worldwide. The embassy and consulate websites have very helpful information about procedures, timelines, communities served, required documentation, and fees.
International registrants should be particularly aware and careful about visa requirements,
and should plan travel well in advance. All visa inquiries must be handled by ACM HQ.
Please send your request for a letter in support of a visa application to Ashley Cozzi (acozzi@acm.org),
and include your name, mailing address, and fax number, as well as the name of the conference
you are attending. Also include a copy of your registration confirmation email (or letter).
(Authors of papers/posters should also include the title).
Please note that ACM does not issue formal "letters of invitation" to any of its conferences.

An exciting conservation project taking place in Dundee city centre will turn one of the oldest buildings in the city, Gardyne's Land, into a privately run youth hostel.
Due to open in 2007, this will provide accommodation in small dormitories for around £15 per night.
As yet there is no guarantee that this work will be completed in time for ITiCSE 2007, but for those seeking budget rooms, watch this space!
For more information on the project see the city council website
and the University of Dundee magazine article.
Still no news on an opening date!
