Invitation to Founders’ Day - Sunday 11 February 2018

I warmly invite you to attend this important commemorative occasion. On Founders’ Day we pay tribute to our historic origins as an ancient University and we light a candle to give thanks for the vision of Bishop Elphinstone and our patron fathers.

The Service will be held in King’s College Chapel on Sunday 11 February 2018 at 11am. The Service will be conducted by both Rev Marylee Anderson and Rev David Hutchison, Chaplains to the University, with a message of goodwill from distinguished guest preacher, Right Rev Dr Derek Browning, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Please make a note of it in your diaries.
