Matheson's is a friendly, caring house, in which academic rigour, extra-curricular participation & rest & relaxation go hand in hand - Ed Phillips, Housemaster
Happy Birthday to Thomas (4th)! Here he is, taking a break from piping on Monday, the recording of which will be played at Commem. Hope you’ve had a great birthday, Thomas! #birthday#Mathesonsfamily#Mathesonsfloreat

Inspired by @CollLothian I took the following pictures of Matheson’s last night at 23:00. Still light with no flash needed. I love this time of year! #summerevenings#Mathesonsfloreat
I am delighted to introduce next year's House Prefects: (L-R) Callum, Oli, Cem, Henry, Kyle and Ivan. Excellent young men who will provide great leadership and support in the house! Well done, gentlemen! #leadership#Mathesonsfamily#Mathesonsfloreat
Weekend starts with a great Matheson’s Family quiz! Congratulations to the Ronaldson’s for winning, but well done and thank you to all the Matheson’s families who joined us! #lockdownquiz#Collcommunity#Mathesonsfamily
Had my first ever Arbroath Smokie today - absolutely delicious!! However, so too is this beautiful Rainbow Trout caught by L6th Mathesonian, Kez. Looking forward to seeing what he can hook out of the River Almond here at Coll in September! #fishing#countrysports#CollCommunity
Good Morning and good luck to all those sitting exams this week. Mathesonians have been hard at work revising over the past few days. Here are Reuben's (4th) detailed notes and Cem's (L6th) colour-coded timetables. Impressed to see such effort and organisation, well done, boys!
Exam week, this week. A chance to show off what you know, and to pinpoint those areas for inprovement moving forwards. Good luck to all Mathesonians in their efforts this week! #Mathesonsfamily#Mathesonsfloreat
A (very mysterious!) member of our staff set a Master of Disguise task for @mowden_hall pupils taking part in our first ever Virtual Taster Day to complete over their lunch break. It seems he couldn’t resist joining in the fun himself.....! 👏👏
A very warm welcome to the @mowden_hall pupils who are racing around our grounds today enjoying our first ever Virtual Taster Day! This pilot event, set to be offered to schools in Scotland, UK and overseas, is a day packed with intrigue, adventure & fun. Good luck to you all!
Wonderful to meet @mowden_hall this morning and welcome them to our virtual taster day based on 'The Thirty Nine Steps'. Looking forward to catching up this afternoon to hear about their adventures and see who is a true 'master of disguise!' #virtualadventure#CollCommunity
Some fine Mathesonians have worn this gown and led the house with distinction! Looking forward to seeing the next name stitched into its historic fabric! #Leadership#Mathesonsfloreat
House Assembly this morning - love having the house all together despite the physical distance. Speaking about the tragic events in America and the important role the boys - and their generation - can play in ensuring such inequality is erased from society. #Mathesonsfamily
