Date: 2008-09-25 08:53 am (UTC)In December I go up to Edinburgh to get my LLM, for which I have to wear a dark suit, white shirt and a white bow tie. No hat there either, but apparently instead of having your hand shaken you get tapped on the head with a bonnet to Officially Graduate you.

Date: 2008-09-26 08:58 am (UTC)Edinburgh doesn't do the red gown for PhDs either: and not for the "usual" Ancient Scottish Universities reason (that it's too close to the undergrad red gown), but because Edinburgh doesn't deem the more modern PhD as being up to the level of the "proper" doctorates awarded for significant published bodies of work.
ETA: And how could I forget - many congratulations!
