Suggestion for an updated nomination: future tentative list

I do not see a particularly strong justification for Dublin to become a world heritage site, but Trinity College stood out. While my experience seeing Trinity College was brief, I was impressed and the literary history here is legendary. The Library of Trinity College Dublin is stunning in its own right and a book-lovers dream.

Therefore, I would suggest something far grander. I would like to see the development of a serial candidature for world heritage titled The Ancient Universities of the British Isles (Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, St Andrews, Oxford, and Cambridge). In such a nomination, the great institutions of higher learning on the British Isles would be recognized and the outstanding universal value clearly demonstrated. While such a nomination is highly unlikely in the short term, I could see such a nomination emerge down the road with the right advocacy and vision.

In writing this review and others (incoming) of former tentative sites, I want to explore potential options where the (ft) nomination could be reformulated to be worthy of inscription. Perhaps a review format of 'Top Missing' and in so doing, highlighting a phenomenon that we have sometimes seen - the long dormant tentative site reimagined.
