The University of Edinburgh has shares worth more than £1 million in a bank sanctioned after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it has been revealed.
As of January this year, records show the university has £1,109,251 in Sberbank stock, held via fund manager Baillie Gifford, which is based in the Scottish capital.
The lender, Russia's largest bank, has already caused tension at Holyrood in the last week as the Scottish Parliamentary Pension Scheme has holdings worth about £300,000, with MSPs calling for the investments to be removed.
