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!

An inspiring day of collaboration at last week's #JoiningForces conference, hearing how forces-friendly employers make the most of the talent pool that is the veteran community. 

It was a great opportunity to share good practice and make connections.

A very interesting couple of days in Inverness, meeting veteran prison officers and prisoners in HMP Inverness, and speaking to members of the Highland Armed Forces & Veterans Community Covenant Partnership. There's some great work going on in and around the Highland capital.

Yesterday I visited @SSAFA Perth and Kinross's Inside Out exhibition, showcasing art by veterans in Perth and Castle Huntly Prisons. The self-tutored veterans have created impressive work which was being sold in aid of @ssafaofficial, which supports veterans in prison and their families outside.

A great night at the Scottish Ex-Forces in Business Awards, recognising the achievements of veterans in the business world. 

It was a pleasure celebrating the remarkable talent of our community and hearing about the successes of the finalists and winners, including Professor Geri Matthews-Smith, pictured - founder and director of the Centre for Military Research, Education & Public Engagement - who was named Advocate of the Year.

Well done to all 🏆
