Dundee University students arriving to study in the city for the first time have been given a formal welcome.

Piper Mark Donnachie was on hand to give a very Scottish welcome to the new arrivals, who were addressed by university principal Professor Sir Pete Downes at the Caird Hall.

After a week of Freshers’ Week events, the hard work starts on Monday.
