Maureen Watt, the Minister for Schools and Skills, visited the College and spoke to the 6th form and members of the William Bright Society.

Ms Watt, who was the first MSP to take the oath in Doric as well as English, addressed a wide variety of issues before taking part in a lively question and answer session during which a diverse number of issues concerning the future of Scotland were raised.
