A trip to Edinburgh this week to accept Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Born during the Scottish enlightenment, it is almost 250 years old. Scotland's national academy, it convenes people from all walks of life. I was awe in of my peers, honoured and delighted.

Stuart was a great man. Full of humanity, warmth, wisdom. Behind his sparkling eyes lay a great sense of humour. His Alma Mater, and all who knew him will miss him.

Really saddened to hear that our former Chaplain, good friend & @UofGlasgow alumnus Reverend Stuart McQuarrie has passed away. His pastoral care & good humour was as legendary as his ability to bring communities together. If you needed him, you’d never be disappointed 💔

Global competition is fierce, for the UK to hold its ground in the public market we need to – as the Chancellor pointed out in his Mansion House speech – make the UK a more attractive destination for investment. [1/5]
