It was a pleasure to see the 2026 Scottish Veterans Awards recognise excellence in a wide range of categories such as Employer (Police Scotland), Inspiration (Pauline Cherrington of Lothians Veterans Centre) and Health & Well-being (Janet Harkess of Scottish Veterans Residences). My congratulations to all the winners and nominees, and thanks to the organisers, staff, volunteers and sponsors.

It was a joy to be part of the 2026 Scottish Veterans Awards, hearing some incredible stories, meeting outstanding people and sharing in the strong sense of pride in a veteran community that is vibrant, capable and continuing to contribute to our society.

Great to see plenty of Service Leavers and a host of employers at the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) Employment Fair at Murrayfield this week. I spoke with a number of employers looking to hire ex military people including NESO, because they recognise the valuable skills and attributes that veterans bring to the workplace. A number of support organisations such as Housing Options Scotland and SSAFA were also on hand to offer advice. It was also a pleasure to catch up with the CTP team for an update.
