Year 2 entry into Scottish universities?

[NigellaAwesome]

DD is currently doing A levels. Predicted 2 A* and an A planning to study biological science.

She was an early applicant, and has put 2 Scottish universities on her application - Edinburgh & St Andrews.

As I understand it, Scottish courses are 4 years, due to Scottish highest being completed a year earlier than A levels.

I had heard that sometimes A level students can enter directly into year 2 on Scottish undergraduate courses, but not sure if this is true?

Has anyone any knowledge?

@54isanopendoor admittedly the numbers being cut headline, while technically true, is slightly misleading as the number are just being brought back to what they were before they were bumped up temporarily due to the teacher assessed grades fiasco during COVID.
