I'm making a slow but less-than-subtle shift towards LinkedIn. If you would like to stay connected, send me a request, and I'll accept.

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.

And that's a wrap, the final day on campus for year 1. Recall day for hashtag#MAPEYear1 started with a hearty breakfast in Leve's, continued with placement reflections and ended with cake. Well done Year 1, have an amazing summer #MAPE #UniversityofEdinburgh

We are so proud of our MAPE Student cohort and all the hard work they have put in to raise funds for our chosen charity. £3,900 for this important charity takes the total raised for charities over the last five years to £18,560 #MAPE #UniversityofEdinburgh #MorayHouse

The Year 3 MAPE EdBudds Committee brought a long-lost annual event back to life on Monday night. The MAPE Talent Competition. 'Acts' from across years 1 to 3 sang/danced their hearts out for a great cause. This year's events are raising funds for Charlie Boys Cancer Foundation

Nothing tugs at the pedagogical heartstrings like seeing our MAPE cohort come together to support their chosen charity. Students from Years 1-3 gathered for their annual charity ball, raising funds for Charlie Boys Cancer Journey #MAPE #EdinburghUniversity

Educational Studies 3 - Our 3rd Year MAPE Cohort learning about neurodiversity in schools @MorayHouse

[Colin Brough @ColBrough]

People who have been there throughout the journey. Stoyd Boyd and I were born 15 days apart, same nursery, primary, and secondary school, with a shed load of adventures along the way. Got together with Dad and Bro, a pint, and we took a very long wander down memory lane 🤔 ❤️ 🙌

The end of day one in semester two. It started with Educational Studies 3 and ended with Wicked Problems: Reason and Rhetoric, a packed day of teaching. Good to be back on campus and great to see our students @MorayHouse @EdinburghUni

First ‘footed’ dad, cuppa and a mince pie, then a wee wander with the dogs #FamilyStuff #NY2026
