Today I was honoured to take part in the Remembrance Sunday ceremony in Edinburgh. It was a deeply moving occasion, extremely well supported by Scotland’s military, political, civic, veteran and bereaved community.
It was a pleasure to meet the Minister for Veterans and People, Louise Sandher-Jones MP, once again. My thanks to @poppyscotland and @royalbritishlegionscotland, who worked together to deliver this faultless event.
Lest we forget.

Pleased to return to the Police Scotland Armistice event to provide an update on the policy context for veterans and lay a wreath in remembrance. Great to hear about the revalidation of their Defence Employer Recognition Gold award and the developing role and impact of their veterans champions.

It was a privilege to speak at Scotland’s Housing Network's Annual Gathering yesterday. Kevin McLeod from @scotvetres joined me to share a powerful and deeply personal story that resonated with everyone in the room. His experience highlighted the challenges some veterans face in securing housing - and how collaboration and understanding can help address them.
