In our regiment, we pride ourselves on the phrase, “Once a Rifleman, always a Rifleman”, which is why, as part of The Rifleman’s Association we set up the Always A Rifleman Programme to support our veterans who are in crisis. This includes antecedent and forming regiments.

A great day of piping yesterday Glenalmond College. The formality of the Pipes & Drums in the morning, followed by an informal performance at last night’s charity concert. Brilliant. #bagpipes #music

Almost like we planned it…. A glorious spring morning for Open Day Glenalmond College. Very much looking forward to welcoming visitors later, and then the first cricket matches of the term this afternoon.

Pupils enjoyed sailing on Loch Earn for the first sail of the season. Light winds provided a gentle start, and provided favourable conditions for pupils to practise their capsize drill at the end of the session.

Some revealing stats in the news in recent days:

• 25% of children aged 5–7 own a smartphone
• as do 90% of 11 year olds
• but 83% of parents surveyed think they’re harmful to children
• and 58% would back a smartphone ban for U16s

Not sure the maths adds up.

Unsung heroes Glenalmond College. Yvonne, one of our outstanding chefs, making my favourite - Sticky Toffee Pudding - this morning. #service #chef #UnsungHero

First visit to the new Perth Museum and it’s outstanding. Superb collection, beautifully presented. Great to see so many children visiting. Also saw the Stone of Destiny. Highly recommended; good cafe too.

As Queen Elizabeth II said: 'Long live the difference, but long live the Entente Cordiale.'

The first person ever to run the entire length of Africa. Mission complete🫡
