Formerly the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, the Conservatoire was where Tennant studied acting between 1988 and 1991. And it was a fun homecoming for the Doctor Who star, who seemed to be very much enjoying himself as he joined other recipients, dressed in some rather natty robes...

Professor Jeffrey Sharkey, Principal of the RCS said Tennant and co had had a "profound impact... on individuals and audiences around the world".
