Did you know that @UofGlasgow used to be based in the city centre? For around 400 years the University was based at the Old College Campus just off High Street! Check out these incredible pictures from 1869! Credit: UofG Archives & HIS

We are deeply saddened to share the news of the death of our former Chancellor, Sir Kenneth Calman. Sir Kenneth was a long-standing friend of UofG - a graduate, a colleague in our Medical School and Chancellor from 2006 to 2020. He will be greatly missed by our community.

Saddened beyond words to hear of the death of Professor Sir Kenneth Calman KCB. One of the most exceptionally brilliant & yet, most humblest of men Sir Kenneth served his @UofGlasgow with distinction right up until the very end. Thoughts are with Lady Ann. Sleep well, Chancellor

Pròiseact Ùr Gàidhlig A’ togail air pròiseactan a thàinig roimhe, tha LEACAN 2 a’ dol a thoirt seachad barrachd stiùiridh air cùisean gràmair is litreachaidh sa Ghàidhlig far a bheil mì-chinnt. Tha sinn a’ sireadh bheachdan air cùisean gràmair (is litreachaidh) far a bheil feum air barrachd stiùiridh no mìneachaidh. Cò an cuspair gràmair (no litreachaidh) sa Ghàidhlig a bu mhath leatsa barrachd stiùiridh fhaicinn air a shon? Nach cuir thu do bheachdan thugainn air a’ phost-dealain seo [email protected] ro dheireadh na seachdain (29/6/2025). New Gaelic Project Building on previous projects, LEACAN 2 will provide more guidance on grammatical and spelling issues in Gaelic where there is uncertainty. We are seeking views on points of Gaelic grammar (or spelling) where there is a need for (more) guidance or explanation. What point of Gaelic grammar (or spelling) would you like to see more guidance for? Please send your suggestions to us on this email address [email protected] before the end of the week (29/6/2025).

New research by @UofGlasgow Prof Dauvit Broun out today in The Journal of Scottish Historical Studies shows that Scottish medieval scholars believed Scottish independence was entirely compatible with being British. Full news story here: gla.ac.uk/news/headline_1185…
