Welcome to the magnificent and historic surroundings of Dunfermline Abbey. This is a truly superb setting in which to celebrate the achievements of our students; those who have successfully completed Scottish Qualification Awards, Professional Institute qualifications and Degree programmes run in partnership with Edinburgh Napier University. Year on year the number of students achieving qualifications increases and we are delighted that so many of you have come along tonight with family and friends to share this momentous occasion in your life with us. The atmosphere and the history that surrounds the Abbey and Abbey Church and their precincts is immense. The Abbey is the last resting place of several of the early Kings and Queens of Scotland, including King David I, Queen Margaret and King Alexander III, and Robert the Bruce is buried beneath the pulpit at the front of the Abbey Church. A few hundred yards away is the birthplace and childhood home of Andrew Carnegie. The adjoining Museum celebrates the life and times of Carnegie and the rich legacy left to the people of Dunfermline and the world. It is a great honour to hold our Graduation Ceremony here and we are sure it will be a long and meaningful memory for you.

He is now as well known for fund raising activities associated with the Mary Leishman Foundation, a charity set up by Jim, his family and friends to celebrate the life and carry on the legacy of his wife of 30 years who died in 2009. Mary and her family were lifelong members of the Kelty Musical Association. Mary was an inspiration to everyone she met and the Foundation’s aim is to celebrate Mary’s life and remember her contribution to the community by raising as much money as possible for local good causes. The Foundation has raised thousands of pounds in the short time it has been in existence and Jim himself has played a leading role in its establishment. Beneficiaries include individuals, groups, schools and colleges, with monies being raised through both large and small events taking place throughout the area.
