DESMOND Tutu, the former archbishop of Cape Town, is to lead a celebration of the life of explorer David Livingstone at the University of Glasgow.
The churchman will introduce a lecture by Lord McConnell of Glenscorrodale, former First Minister of Scotland, on Dr Livingstone's work as a missionary and scientist.
In a video message, he will say: "Many Scots have been at the forefront of the struggle for justice and respect for humanity, particularly in Africa, and of course David Livingstone is the greatest of all the Scottish figures in these endeavours."
