Ian, Try contacting The St. Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art. It is part of Glasgow Museums. I know they have Islamic material on exhibit but I don't know how large their collection is. Also, you might try contacting the Open Museum (again, part of Glasgow Museums). When I was doing my internship there (summer 1996), Alex Robertson was working on a joint project with Islamic women and hijab (spelling?). I went to the first group interview--it was fascinating stuff. I'm sure Alex has put together a lot of great information and a traveling exhibit as well. If you talk to Alex, tell her I said "hello." The Open Museum has also done a couple of other exhibits that might be of interest to you. I don't remember the phone numbers off the top of my head but being in the UK you can get them easily enough. Hope this helps!
