Positive Futures: Getting Transition Right in Scotland – Housing: Making a Home in Civilian Society

We have seen an improvement across many aspects of transition in recent years – including housing, which presents some unique challenges – but we are still not getting it right for everyone. We need to act now to build on improvements, especially for those vulnerable to a failed transition, who risk entering a cycle of homelessness and the knock-on effects of that. For most that’s entirely preventable.

Scottish Veterans Commissioner – Transition in Scotland

In Scotland approximately 1800 men and women complete their military service and settle – many with their families - in our communities every year. As Scottish Veterans Commissioner, I have been asked by the Cabinet Secretary with responsibility for veterans, Keith Brown, to investigate how this diverse group prepare for, and cope with, transition using the recent studies by Lord Ashcroft, Forces in Mind Trust and others as a baseline.

A valuable day at the 51 Brigade HQ Scotland Firm Base Conference 2026.
It was encouraging to see serving personnel, Families Federations and support organisations coming together to share ideas and learn from one another.

I was pleased to provide an update on my 2026 Progress Report and hear insightful contributions supporting the Armed Forces vision of “Join Well, Serve Well, Leave Well”.

An inspiring example of remembrance and reconciliation in action.

As a Trustee of the Thistle Trust, I visited the British Embassy in Berlin for an exhibition recognising the work of the community in Kutenholz.

Led by Debbie Bülau BEM, the community has created memorials to those who fell in the area during the Second World War and continues to connect with their families.

Kutenholz is where Lieutenant Robin Tudsbury lost his life. The Robin Chapel in Edinburgh was built in his memory.

It was also a pleasure to meet Anthony Wilson of the Royal British Legion Germany District and Robert Collington of its Berlin Branch.
