The 2025 Jimmy Reid Memorial Lecture will be given by Ghassan Abu-Sittah, the Rector of the University of Glasgow since March 2024, after winning 80 per cent of the vote. He is a British-Palestinian plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specialises in craniofacial surgery, aesthetic surgery, cleft lip and palate surgery, and trauma-related injuries.
His father's family were expelled from their land in the south east of Gaza and became refugees in the Gaza Strip. They later moved to Kuwait and, in the 1980s, to the United Kingdom. In 1988, he followed in his father's footsteps and studied medicine at Glasgow University. Ghassan has worked as a surgeon in several conflict zones and returned to the Gaza Strip after the start of the Gaza war in 2023, where he provided medical assistance with Doctors Without Borders out of the Al-Shifa Hospital. He has spoken widely of his experiences, and last year travelled to The Hague to meet with International Criminal Court (ICC) investigators, and gave evidence to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for South Africa's genocide case against Israel.
Ghassan is the co-author of two books on conflict surgery and is the recipient of international recognitions. These include the Royal College of Surgeons fellowship in 2010 and the American University of Beirut Humanism and Professionalism award in 2015. He was granted the TRT World Citizen of the Year award and the TAKREEM Lifetime Achievement award 2023. He will speak about his experiences in Gaza and the conflict more generally.

This is simply a dream castle. When I arrived, it was the April holiday, and there were almost no people on the road. Only the ancient buildings stood in the cold air, solemn and heavy, which made people feel awe.

We came here on a spontaneous visit one Sunday afternoon in January and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our wee boy loved seeing the &ldquo;old fashioned house&rdquo; and was so well looked after by all the staff, from the cash register to the flat and back out again.

We went round twice (with a shift change between visits!) and the insight into one story of no doubt thousands like it in Glasgow was fantastic. Plus our boy thoroughly enjoyed colouring in his wallie dug. A hidden gem that is well worth the wander through Garnethill.

This museum is a place where people have to punch in. I especially like the oil paintings in the museum. After seeing it, I feel a great enjoyment. The museum is also a favorite place for primary and secondary school students.

It is said that it can be traced back to the famous William Conquest period. It was built to commemorate St. Diego. It took hundreds of years to build and has been around for nearly a thousand years. It is the oldest religious building in the entire Scottish region. It is also a must-see for tourists.

George Square

George Square is located in Glasgow city center and is very conveniently accessible by train or subway. On nice days, you can sunbathe and watch pigeons in the square. It is close to the famous shopping street, where you can buy souvenirs, clothes, shoes and socks. There are also many restaurants and eateries to choose from. 
George Square is a must-see attraction. In addition to admiring the architecture of the square;during different festivals, such as Christmas, the square is built into a Christmas Market, becoming a dynamic and happy atmosphere.
