Who has the battle for Rectorship?
Kevin Dunion will take over from Simon Pepper as Rector of the University of St Andrews.
Mr Dunion, Scotland's FOI Commissioner, beat fellow candidates Colin Fox and Sir Chay Blyth at the polls today and will officially take over the reins tomorrow (Saturday 1 November 2008).
Former Rectors of St Andrews include Frank Muir, John Cleese, Sir Clement Freud and Rudyard Kipling. Writer and broadcaster Frank Muir, pictured here, was Rector of the University from 1976-1979.
A new book examining the history of the Rectors has just been published. "The Rectors of the University of St Andrews 1859-2005" by Donald Wintersgill is available to buy from the University Library.
