Walking the Camino Real was as uplifting as it was tiring. I always wanted to do it. I completed my pilgrimage last month. My reasons were personal, my inspiration were 2 friends who have risen high following tragic losses #camerongrantmemorialtrust #finlayportermemorialtrust 1/2

@Andrew007Uk @UKinKolkata @Kevinmccfc @AlineDobbie @RoyGardner007 @inBritish @BCScotland I am so glad you were able to visit Andrew. A place dear to my heart. I visited with my father so many times when I was young & he was a governor! Efforts continue to raise funds to support the school, the pupils, many from the poorest in society. #drgrahamshomes

I had been unable to visit Dr Graham Homes in Kalimpong on occasion of their 125th Foundation Day but promised to visit during this year and learn about the strong Scottish connections with this renowned institution who’s alumni include two Prime Minister’s of Bhutan.

2/2 Please support these worthy and deserving causes. One supports an educational scholarship, the other offers mental health support.

@Andrew007Uk @sheffieldfc @UKinKolkata @NonLeagueCrowd @groundhobbler @daveharry007 @PeterRMiles @micpetersen @TerraceEdition I played cricket there as a young boy. I still have an old “Ditchers” rugby shirt that my father wore from the 60’s. Happy memories of old Ballygunge!

@Andrew007Uk @LintonHotspurs @cdloft89 @davidstoker_lfc @NonLeagueCrowd Does it beat a Killie Pie - reputedly the best pie on sale in a Scottish Football stadium? @KilmarnockFC #RugbyPark - “Better than the mince on the pitch”

Randomly met a random @LintonHotspurs fan named @cdloft89 in Kolkata this evening. He claimed the club feel they have the best pies in Scottish Football @davidstoker_lfc. Any comments?

@rosiegrieves @UKinKolkata @Andrew007Uk Couldn’t agree more! Top people make a top team!

A reluctant farewell after a wonderful few days in Kolkata. Great to spend time with the talented team here @UKinKolkata who work tirelessly to advance the 🇬🇧🇮🇳relationship.

Volunteer marshalls from @KinrossGolfClub at the 6th hole @AIGWomensOpen are sharing choc minstrels with kids (& our favourite @SkySportsGolf presenters) this afternoon #happiesthole on the course! #empoweringwomen #lovegolf

I failed to make it 'hometown Scotland during my last UK visit but here I am in India's Scotland of the North East. My second visit and even more beautiful than the first. Do you know the Indian state I M referring to? Have you visited? Would you like to?

Here’s wishing you all the best @CookieInUK - The team here at Kolkata would miss you. Here’s some snapshots from the brief time you spent with us last year.

Yesterday was my last working day as a diplomat with @FCDOGovUK . After nearly 43 years it is time to lay down my pen. So thankful for the many blessings, bounties and friendships that came my way along those years. Humbled, Honoured & Happy #RestandBeThankful

I was so proud to visit Scottish Church College in Kolkata last year & receive the warmest of welcomes from this noble & distinguished institution. Thanks to the Principal Dr Madhumanjari Mandal - check out their latest video - youtu.be/fDU1ZHjX8uw @scc_kol @Andrew007Uk

Delighted to welcome our High Commissioner @Lindy_Cameron to Gujarat, team Ahmedabad had a great time with her exploring diverse opportunities to enhance UK-India cooperation. We look forward to her next visit

@Andrew007Uk @UKinKolkata @NickDLow @ajitha27 @arun77abha @ris50 @pyne_madhumita @HabibRaihan87 @dcfrombc @Debanjan2488 @sandiffthin @PoddarHaimanti So glad to see Muskan still has that warm smile! A first class welcome and good morning made my day too!

Celebrating a year of Muskan working with us @UKinKolkata as out Front of Office representative. A genuine smile in the morning is always a great way to start the day. Thanks for all your hard work Muskan.

@MadhishParikh @jamesgodber @Apple Typically kind of you Madhish! I can thoroughly recommend your advice to James. @jamesgodber @AmeeRaninga @UKinAhmedabad

@jamesgodber @Apple Hey James, My friend is an Apple reseller in India. I have spoken with him and he can help you. Can you please allow me to DM his number as your DM is unavailable?Thanks 🙏

Hi @Apple! I am a UK Diplomat resident in India. I want to purchase a new Studio which exceeds the 2lakh threshold which requires I give my PAN card number. I unfortunately don’t have a PAN card nor a GST number in the standard format as our tax status is different. Please help.

@Andrew007Uk @joshimanasi11 Missing India - the might look bright here but it is still too cold in UK.🥶

@joshimanasi11 Does it make you homesick @CookieInUK?

Sky today in Ahmedabad is just too beautiful to not to post

Peace and joy to all my friends in Kolkata this festive. I join in fellowship with all from St Paul's, St Andrew's, St John's and CNI Wesleyan Church to celebrate this special day.
