Abstract
When James Scotland made his final Graduation Day speech, he was able to draw upon a richness of experience that stretched well beyond his 22 years as Principal of Aberdeen College of Education. Born in 1917, in an upstairs tenement in the East end of Glasgow, he had grown up to achieve an academic success which entitled him to be thought of as the authentic urban lad o' pairts. He was educated at his local Dennistoun schools, became Dux of Whitehill School, and then proceeded to take three First Class Honours degrees at Glasgow University, interspersed by a Bachelor of Law. After war service in Italy he embarked upon an energetically successful career in Scottish education, one that, within three years of his teaching qualification, propelled him into the post of Head of the Education Department at Jordanhill and then, in 1961, onwards to the Principalship at Aberdeen.
