Always at the heart of any family gathering and much missed in every way. Mum loved a birthday bash, and we're sharing stories to mark hers today xxx

Last night we gathered together to celebrate the annual MAPE Graduation Ball. It was great to see the year group together and to share stories and memories of the last four years. Our Peer Support Committee #EdBudds organised a lovely evening for both students and staff.

Very proud to see Long graduate yesterday, and to have such a great seat😉, as he graduated from my school at the University of Edinburgh. Really pleased to have both birth and foster families together for the big day #FosterFamilies

On the run-up to the school's graduation on Friday, I thought I'd share another memory from my dad's time at the school in the 1940s and 50s. The Moray House school song (Sorry, he can't remember the tune) was penned by the Head Teacher, Mr Mowat, and sung at School gatherings.

What a fantastic day at #PeerForum26. The choice of presentations and workshops was amazing. Great to hear from student leaders and colleagues from Norway, Sweden, Portugal & Canada on Peer-Led Initiatives in HE. #PeerSupport #PALS #EdBudds #SportBudds

Looking forward to this. A day spending time with like minded people on Peer Support and Learning. The conference has speakers from universities across the UK, Europe and as far flung as Canada.
