Complimenting the symbolic event marking the 25th Anniversary of the Scottish Parliament today were soldiers from @The_Scots @SCOTS_DG @ScotsGuards @2SCOTSP&Ds and @Band_SCOTS. The high-profile event, attended by Their Majesties The King and Queen, once again saw the @BritishArmy in Scotland at the forefront of ceremonial operations in Edinburgh.

Today we honour the memory of two unknown Scottish soldiers who bravely fought and fell during World War One. They were laid to rest this week in the British War Cemetery in Loos, France, with around 40 others. (1/3)
