Well I can honestly say, this historic item is pretty special to me. Having seen it on display, and paraded it twice, I will visit this piece of history when it returns back home to Perth and its new home. Best of luck everyone involved in the plan. STV News

Stagecoach Thankyou. Please spread the word to the Veterans you may know.

Absolutely delighted and over the moon with the finished article, now to find something to display them in.

Absolutely delighted to hear the news Marie one of the original Redford Team members when I arrived into the role in Scotland has received, her Imperial Service Medal. Truly deserved for such a lovely lady.

A year on from the passing of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we remember the unwavering connection she had with our armed forces and the commitment to service that inspired us all.

We took part in the Proclamation proceedings uniquely in two locations, here at the Mercat Cross and then outside Edinburgh castle were a gun salute will sound today.

In marking the first anniversary of Her late Majesty’s death and my Accession, we recall with great affection her long life, devoted service and all she meant to so many of us.

I am deeply grateful, too, for the love and support that has been shown to my wife and myself during…

Has it really been one year already, I just remember the driving rain and walking home already knowing what the world was about to find out, Scotland had start to action it’s plan, the eyes of the world were about to be upon us.

Donned the @Soldierscharity colours today, tie in wear also, kindly gifted on my departure from Edinburgh by the team in the Castle.

It’s nice to know there’s a little influence still left in the old dog yet, very humbling for someone to reach out, I wish I was this young again with the door open to all that the Armed Forces can actually offer. Lt Col Mike Butler The SCOTS Scots Guards RAF in Scotland

Recently I returned to Edinburgh, I loved every minute, here the Massed Bands warm up in the setting Sun above Edinburgh Castle

Fantastic evening saying goodbye, watching the Edinburgh Tattoo a pleasure seeing and being made welcome by Alastair Bruce couldn’t be more proud to have finished my service watching Stories. Thankyou

Be at rest now Davie, you did the MGS and the Castle proud, your extended family will miss you, and my deepest sympathies with your loved ones, rest well my friend.

The rain is God's way o' cleanin' the coos, and even the rain didn’t dampen my spirits at the Garden Party, loved every minute. Ever more enjoyable with the PipeBand on parade

Utterly thrilled to see you have your insignia from The King, as a Member of the Royal Victorian Order

Your impact on Scottish ceremonial, especially late Queen obsequies, was immense

Not a bad view looking up this afternoon #redarrows
