Lord Robertson has been named as the new chancellor of the University of Dundee, where he studied economics in the 1960s.
He became a Labour MP, representing Hamilton and then Hamilton South between 1978 and 1999, when he entered the House of Lords.
His latest position will see Lord Robertson become the ceremonial head of the University of Dundee, presiding over academic ceremonies and acting as president of the graduates’ association. “I have always held a strong connection to the university since I was a student, and opted to receive my degree from Dundee rather than St Andrews at a time when the university was forming its own strong identity, having previously been part of St Andrews.
