600th Anniversary

Today and tomorrow are the final events for the 600th anniversary celebrations for the University of St. Andrews.  Here are some pictures from my window of the special graduation ceremony that took place earlier today.

Undergraduates wear robes to formal occasions, how they wear it reflects their year of study

Looks like a group of wizards... except in red

The police are very bright here

Bagpipes are played in the procession before, and after, the ceremony

Heading off to the dinner reception

Formal kilts are the business

I am digging on the robes and the color (colour?) choices
