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.

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.

It was a true privilege to join the Army Widows’ Association for their AGM dinner on Friday. It was a very special opportunity to meet so many of the remarkable members of the Association who have given so much for our country and support each other with so much warmth, humour and friendship.

On #VEDay we remember those who served during WWII to achieve peace in Europe. We honour the courage of all who served, laying the foundation for the peace and freedoms we enjoy today. We acknowledge the sacrifice of those who did not come home, and the loved ones who grieved their loss. We will remember them.

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.
