It was good to meet with Jamie Hepburn MSP, Minister for Parliamentary Business and Veterans, to discuss my 2026 Progress Report and what needs to happen next. We spoke about the importance of the Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Pathway and the Homelessness Prevention Pathway, alongside opportunities to move forward my other recommendations. I look forward to seeing progress in the months ahead and will continue to support that work. Read the report through the link in our bio. #ScottishVeterans #Veterans #Scotland

At 11am today, I will pause alongside people across Scotland. Each of us may bring different memories to the silence, but for two minutes we stand together. We remember those who gave their lives, those who came home and the families who stood behind them. Remembrance belongs to all of us. We will remember them. #LestWeForget #RemembranceDay #ScottishVeterans

A moving Remembrance weekend in Edinburgh. From the Scottish Government’s Remembrance event to Scotland’s Festival of Remembrance at the Usher Hall and the Remembrance Sunday commemorations, each occasion offered an opportunity to reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who have served, and the families who support them. It was also a privilege to meet George McLeod, formerly of the 4th Battalion, King’s Own Scottish Borderers, who will soon celebrate his 101st birthday. #Remembrance #LestWeForget #ScottishVeterans

I attended a reception for the veteran community in Edinburgh, hosted by Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Scotland Melanie Ward MP. It was good to join MPs, veterans and support organisations to celebrate the contribution veterans make both during and after military Service.
