Holy hell can this boy rock a kilt

Fred Swift

Son of the Very Reverend Christopher and Suzie Swift, Fred hails from Scotland’s Inverness where he attended Glenalmond College before moving on to the bright lights, big city of Durham.

Here he is in his third year studying the demanding degree of Physical Geography, and next year he’ll be moving to Keele University to study a Masters in Fashion.

His highlight of this year’s social calendar has been Palatinalps (#palashinalps) where you may have seen him fall during the slalom – an easy mistake to make and obviously one well calculated for the pleasure of his fans. During term time he can be found at the DUHC stealth social and suffering through his one man beers and tears social, held weekly every Thursday in his bedroom….with the door locked.

Fred’s most prized possession is his student card, as it allows him to get into the library and collate brand on the third floor. If any ladies are planning to migrate their study location in hope of finding this long-haired lothario, make sure you’re wearing a scrunchie or he won’t give you a second glance.

When describing his favourite holiday destination, Fred cites a trip to York Minster with friends Mike Sills and Ferdy Campbell (also an eligible bachelor). Apparently it was a lovely place and full of rich history, being the oldest gothic cathedral in Europe. If you like a bit of culture, or maybe the thought of stone piled into the shape of a building gets you a little bit excited, then this is the boy for you.

Fred hopes to be remembered for his terror gears and below par lid, but he has no need to dwell in the past when he has such a promising future ahead of him. Really promising in fact, if you are into farming pretty sheep during the week and chasing prime racing haggi at the weekend.
