Delighted to be supporting the First Minister’s visit to Plockton High School’s National Centre for Traditional Music to showcase the work of Scotland’s #CentresofExcellence. Great discussion on how #Trad Music in Scotland showcases our identity and culture. The young people were just phenomenal.

“These films are masterpieces,” Leo, Pr6. Couldn’t have put it better myself. Enjoying celebrating the CYP’s work as part of the Film & Screen curriculum at the DCA. Love too seeing the impact of the professional learning of the Film & Screen Summer School on teachers. Great way to finish the week.

A smiling graduate in traditional academic gown and hood stands in front of the blue and gold University of Glasgow sign. The background includes trees and the historic campus main building. A group of graduates in academic gowns and hoods pose together under an stone archway in the cloisters with fairy lights wrapped around the columns. They are holding their diplomas and standing behind large white "UofG" letters.
