I celebrated 110 years of @veteranshousingscotland over the weekend, at an event at Edinburgh Castle attended by HRH The Princess Royal. It was great to hear about the lives the charity has changed over the years, and get an update on its ongoing work to offer veterans and their families safe, secure homes that meet their needs.
The evening ended with the RAF pipe band beating the retreat.
