An attempt to promote environmental education in Scotland was started in the 1970s by a group representing several sectors of education. It set in action a chain of events which can be seen as a coherent project relatively independent of developments elsewhere, although parallel with them, and from a starting-point which was more one of urban renewal than of rural preservation. It progressed through interaction between promoters, practitioners and public, within the surrounding framework of government policy, and illustrated many of the difficulties encountered by educators in complex political processes. The time is now appropriate to review the outcomes and prospects of the project. This paper is particularly concerned with the part played by the political system and the international context. The analysis shows a complex and largely negative interaction with the political and administrative systems relating to formal education. The influence of international events was generally marginal, but at its best there was a two-way exchange
