The weather may have moved our celebration indoors temporarily, but still enjoying a traditional @GlenalmondColl Commem picnic and raising a glass to all at Coll, in Matheson’s, and the U6th especially! #commem #endofterm #FloreatGlenalmond #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

Huge congratulations to Old Mathesonian and @OldGlenalmond, Jack, who has raised over £2000 for @BrainTumourOrg by pulling his car for 1 mile! So impressed and so proud! A very worthy charity, if you would like to donate:justgiving.com/fundraising/J… #mathesonsfamily #mathesonsfloreat

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

No idea who this chap is...??!! #masterofdisguise #CollCommunity
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.....! 👏👏

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
#66: @GlenalmondColl prefect's gown; Latin root suggests individual 'put in front' - leadership speaks of service & responsibility. @CPatchells @HomeColl @CGoodacres @CGoodacres @CMathesons @CollLothian @CollReids @CSkrines

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
