History was made yesterday when the Scottish cabinet met for the first time in Dundee.
First Minister Alex Salmond and education secretary Fiona Hyslop were at Dundee College to announce a £3 million package to support 100 new life sciences modern apprenticeships.
Finance secretary John Swinney visited Alliance Trust and later, with Mike Russell, saw Dundee's thriving computer games success at first hand on a visit to Realtime Worlds.
Kenny MacAskill met staff at Castle Huntly open prison and agricultural secretary Richard Lochhead was at a deer centre near Auchtermuchty. This was followed by last night's Homecoming event at the DCA.
Today deputy first minister Nicola Sturgeon hosted a National Conversation event at Abertay University, during which members of the public had a chance to grill the ministers.
I hope a good time was had by all.

Dunno why Scotlands Parliament might go a'roving but G.Browns attempts to make the Westminster one do so is simply to promote unwanted Regionalism.
I think the flitting is good for people to meet MSP they otherwise would only see on TV.
After all our MSPs do try to do their best to make themselves accessible in comparison to the Westminster system.
Good to see a largish turnout of the Cabinet for the Homecoming event at DCA. First Minister spoke well.
But the venue was far too cramped for the number of people - pity they could not open a bit of gallery space to ease the crush.
Hi bluedog, I didn't manage along but I can imagine, if the gallery wasn't opened, that it would have been a bit of a squeeze.
