John Muir Way

Earlier this year, a team of veterans, serving personnel from 6SCOTS, and staff from Sacro’s Veterans Mentoring and Forces of Nature services came together to complete the 134-mile John Muir Way.

The walk was organised to highlight the difficulties faced by military veterans and promote the life-changing support available to them.

I was honoured to receive them at the end of the walk and congratulate them on their accomplishment. Everyone was in good spirits despite very inclement weather, and they were even joined by a piper on the final leg of their journey!

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.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting veterans, families and staff at Glasgow's Helping Heroes where I heard their views and experiences around finance and debt. This will help to inform my next report.
