Respect for the Piper in Glasgow University

[Andrewson]

Glasgow University is very proud of its traditions. I graduated from Glasgow University in 1973 and currently have a University of Glasgow kilt on order.

I can't remember if we were piped out of the Bute Hall when I graduated from Glasgow University in 1959 but I am sure that if we were, then he was properly paid for his efforts as described above.

And I have been wearing a Glasgow University kilt for the last few years and always to great acclaim (it is my wife's favourite among all my kilts) so I'm sure you'll get great pleasure as well as pride out of wearing it CT.

Most people in my party had not seen the procession out into the quadrangle led by the piper as they were still in Bute Hall like most of the graduates.
I happened to be out in the quadrangle and cloisters because my young nephew who was siiting beside was getting too warm and I took him outside for fresh air.
By the time the procession had ended and the piper stopped playing most graduates were still in Bute Hall, so I would say that a fair majority of graduates and guests would not have witnessed this final part of the ceremony
