Someone just emailed me to ask what Women in Tech organisations there are in Scotland. Since I’ve written them down on an email, figured that I would post them here to – just for anyone that’s starting out, or new to Scotland.
DISCLAIMER – This is a short list of the organisations I know just in Scotland. See this article for a wider serving list.
