My successor, as Governor of @edinburghcastle, will be installed tomorrow, on behalf of The King, by Lord Lyon King of Arms. I wish my ‘kin’, Robert Bruce, Lorna his wife and their two children, every joy and good wish in their term of office. Another ‘Bruce’ for Scotland’s greatest fortress, which one of my visitors once described as, “The Elephant in the City: you just can’t ignore it, or miss it!” Its ramparts are imbued with Scotland’s extraordinary martial tradition and forever makes one proud of the Scottish soldier, generation by generation. Like me, General Bob has faced conflict in company with Scottish soldiers: we both hold unconfined awe for their raw courage, endless energy and direct humour. There is no greater tradition to represent & uphold.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Have a wonderful day, Bob!

The Royal Regiment of Scotland is honoured to accept the Freedom of Argyll and Bute in recognition of our service to our nation and within our community.

Resilience (noun): The ability to withstand or recover quickly from challenges. In The Royal Regiment of Scotland, resilience isn’t just a word — it’s who we are.

“Gleaming" (adjective): Shining with excellence, precision and pride. In The Royal Regiment of Scotland, gleaming isn’t just about spotless boots or perfectly pressed kit — it’s about delivering excellence in every task, mission and moment.

"You’re in your own time now" (phrase): An army expression used when you’ve missed the mark, but quitting isn’t an option. It means the clock’s stopped, but you haven’t — you’ll keep going until the job’s done, no matter how long it takes.
