Despite the miles, our hearts are never far from Aberdeen. Saturday Trey brought this story to my attention, and I could see the ache in his eyes knowing he had missed out on the festivities.
This past Friday the new rector of the University, Stephen Robertson, was installed for his three year post. As part of the ceremony, he rode the student mascot, Angus the Bull, up High Street to the St. Machar Bar where, as tradition required, he bought a round of drinks for the students. His main rectorial duties involve advocating for the students' welfare on the University Court, a position dating back to 1495. Evidently this begins by liquoring his constituents up. What a shock.

Kent was there to witness the occasion, and took a few pictures. He said too that it was quite crazy to see a grown man riding on a stuffed bull! Only in Aberdeen!!!
