Exercise Orcadian Sunrise Day 2 with our friends @1hldrsacf

A visit to #SkaraBrae #TombofEagles & #SkailHouse where @LovatACF Hon Col Malcolm Macrae gave us a personal tour. The weather was fantastic today☀️ who says it always rains in Scotland ☔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿The cadets are having a great time making friendships and memories for life👍

We've all probably seen a film set portrayed with a Directors Chair, seems our Battery Commander has them beat! Everybody is going to want one!!

Orkney Troop and @ShetlandACF Troop may be spread pretty far and wide but we wish everyone a Merry Christmas from Orkney & Shetland Battery (Lovat Scouts) 1 Bn Highlanders

2 Lt Browne was passing through Edinburgh today and made time to go to the Garden of Remembrance where she placed a cross in the Lovat Scout area on behalf of the Battery. Well done Miss Browne!

After rather challenging sea conditions, Orkney & Shetland Bty @LovatACF @ShetlandACF October Camp started proper training today with an inspection & ended with kit preparation. Fun-filled days of training ahead.

Congratulations to both Bdr Bruce and LBdr Petrie on their promotion at Wednesday's Parade Night -Well done!

Last day in role complete - move with sadness and excitement for the next challenge. Thank you to all those I worked with and all I met. So much great work being done. Well done all. Now move to Career Management (Reserves) at APC Glasgow to drive improvement #talentmanagement

They do say "it's not training if it's not raining", but on a sunny evening's Parade Night what's better than a bit of Drill! Changing step in QT for 2 & 3 stars
