12Although SR is now on holiday for three weeks, the Friends of the Scottish Review appeal never sleeps.
     Since SR does not accept advertising or sponsorship of any kind, and since the support it receives from its publisher (the Institute of Contemporary Scotland) is limited, SR depends on the generosity of individual supporters through the Friends' appeal.
