Carved stone inscription presented to St Andrews’ University to mark 600th anniversary
A stone inscribed with the Scots translation of Greek Poet Simonides work has been presented to the University of St Andrews by Historic Scotland to hang in its Main Library.
It was created as part of a BBC Radio programme linked to Professor Robert Crawford’s translations of the ancient epitaphs for western soldiers killed in conflicts 2500 years ago in the territories of modern Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan.
Historic Scotland Traditional Skills Officer Charles Jones carved the inscription. The stone says “The city is the Dominie o the man” – dominie being the old scots word for teacher.

Marine Week’s aim is to promote interest in the rich and diverse local marine environment. Marine week aims to increase awareness of marine conservation and sustainability and to stimulate a true connection between people and our marine environment. The University of St Andrews is renowned throughout the world for its excellence in marine science, and we hope to get the public involved with the university’s current research in the marine sciences. Finally, it is our hope to raise awareness of issues currently challenging our marine environment, (locally, nationally and globally), educate the public on all we can do to help and inspire everyone to take action.
Marine Week will include events such as film showings, beach cleanups, childrens’ activities, guest lectures and a marine and seafood festival taking place over the weekend. The primary goal of these events is to find ways to engage not only the students of the university but the entire community in appreciation for the marine environment and to educate the public on issues of marine conservation and sustainability. An official schedule of events will be released forthwith.

Saturday 14th April, 2pm. Begins outside St Salvator’s College on North St.
Each year thousands of students and citizens gather on the cobbled streets of St Andrews to watch Scotland’s oldest historical pageant. At 2pm on Saturday 14th April, the annual Kate Kennedy Procession will leave the medieval gates of St Salvator’s College.
The Procession traces its origins to the adoration by students of the niece of Bishop Kennedy, the founder of St Salvator’s College, the oldest in the University. This niece was Lady Katharine Kennedy, affectionately known as Kate, the fairest and most beautiful woman in her day. The part of Kate is traditionally played by a first year male student, whose identity is a well guarded secret until the Procession begins.
The crowd’s anticipation builds outside St Salvator’s Quad as over a hundred colourfully draped characters from the history of St Andrews march out of the medieval gate– characters as diverse as Robert the Bruce and John Cleese, Mary Queen of Scots and Rudyard Kipling—all culminating with the unveiling of Kate.
Horsedrawn coaches, the jester entertaining local children, the Pipe and Military Bands filling the streets with melodies, and Kate’s shield bearers charming the crowds by handing out daffodils are just a few of the happenings that make the Kate Kennedy Procession a special day for town and gown alike.
Proudly organized by the Kate Kennedy Procession Committee, the Kate Kennedy Trust and the Kate Kennedy Club
It starts outside St Salvator’s College on North Street at 2pm, goes along Market Street and finishes at 2.30pm outside Holy Trinity Church on South Street

The Global Poverty Project campaign, started by a couple of committed Australians, is asking us to support their efforts to mobilise the developed countries in the world to “make poverty history”. There are 1.4 billion people living in extreme poverty in our world today. That’s 1.4 billion people living on less than 80p a day. In 2007, the Global Poverty Project developed a multi-media presentation, 1.4 Billion Reasons, which is travelling the globe, engaging and inspiring audiences to understand and get involved in this movement to end extreme poverty. Now we, in St Andrews, have the opportunity to become involved.
The forthcoming event on the 16th April is being sponsored by the University Foreign Affairs Society and the Rotary Club of St Andrews. Tickets are available from members of those organisations or at the door of the hotel on the night. A minimum donation of £5 towards “Making Poverty History” is all that is required of participants.
