The Dean of #Westminster was a powerful man... Some music for the #Coronation- #Scottish folk singers Robin Hall And Jimmie MacGregor celebrated the greatest student prank of all things with "The Wee Magic Stane", a thoroughly irreverent song about the repatriation of the #StoneOfDestiny by 4 #GlasgowUni students in 1950. The #StoneOfScone is currently back at #WestminsterAbbey, on loan for the crowning of #CharlesIII.

#WilliamRobertScott died 3rd April 1940 in Glasgow..
Born in Omagh Co. Tyrone into a milling family, he studied in #TCD.
While there he wrote "A simple history of ancient philosophy" aimed at the general reader, and the only extant full biography of #FrancisHutcheson, coining the term "Scottish Enlightenment" and crediting Hutcheson as its father.
Moving to #GlasgowUni (as Hutcheson had before him) he became an expert in #AdamSmith & economics.

Es wird mal wieder Zeit für ein Schottland-Foto des Tages aus meinem Archiv! Dienstags ist immer Uni-Tag, also hier ein Bild vom Gilmorehill Campus der Glasgow University. Gebaut in den 1870ern von Sir George Gilbert Scott im neugotischen Stil. Die Uni als Institution feiert aber in diesem Jahr schon ihren 572. Geburtstag. #Schottland #Glasgowuni #Schottlandliebe

Sometimes I wonder where my teengirl gets her affinity for computing/ coding.
Then I remember my own joy on summer projects at Uni using Mathematica to chart orbits
Her grandma’s first job as a physics technician at Glasgow Uni, where the computers used punch cards.
Her great-grandma’s enthusiastic early adoption of personal computers in the home, typing up programmes just for the fun of it.
Guess we all loved the satisfaction when it works.

West End moments in #Glasgow. These may be Botany gates, but they’re not THE Botany gates since the arch was removed. #GlasgowUni
Morning all. Hope the sun’s shining where you are. I’ll be taking a trip to the West end today, one of my favourite places. #Glasgow #GlasgowUni #ByresRoad #LazySunday
