Great to attend yesterday’s African and Caribbean Heritage event, highlighting how arts and cultural events educate young people about Scotland’s colonial history and its link to modern racism. Amazing work in this area and celebrating @SirGeoffPalmer's remarkable impact!

Thrilled to attend the Big Noise United Orchestra #BNUO24 concert in Dundee today. @sistemascotland runs the impactful #BigNoise programme, enriching lives and building stronger communities through music and caring connections.

I was delighted to visit @VADundee, Scotland’s first-ever Design Museum. This remarkable institution is a great asset for both Dundee and Scotland. We received a very warm welcome and enjoyed amazing exhibitions that thoughtfully address the history of colonialism.

Good to see the new MP for Edinburgh North and Leith @tracygilbert72 attending.
