Scots remember war dead

Scots remember war dead

Ceremonies and parades have taken place throughout Scotland to commemorate servicemen and women killed in conflict.

More than 30 events were organised by volunteers from the Royal British Legion Scotland to mark Remembrance Sunday.

In Edinburgh, a parade of veterans, serving military detachments, and cadets marched from St Giles Street to the City Chambers in the High Street.

First Minister Alex Salmond, Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael and Edinburgh Lord Lieutenant and Lord Provost Donald Wilson joined representatives of the armed and emergency services in laying wreaths at the Stone of Remembrance outside the chambers.

A two-minute silence was observed before a public service of remembrance at St Giles’ Cathedral.

Mr Salmond said: “This year’s Remembrance Sunday service holds particular significance, as it is the last before next year’s centenary of the outbreak of World War I.

“Scotland, in common with so many other nations, suffered an appalling loss of life in the Great War, and its effects on Scottish life were profound and long-lasting, making this year’s Remembrance Sunday especially poignant as we look ahead to next year’s commemorations.”

In Glasgow the city’s lord provost, Sadie Docherty, led a service in George Square at which Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon laid a wreath.

A guard of honour was formed by the Royal Navy and music was provided by Her Majesty’s Band of the Royal Marines.

In Aberdeen, members of the armed services, veterans and pipe bands paraded from Belmont Street through the city centre to the war memorial at the Cowdray Hall.

A wreath-laying ceremony was held followed by a church service in the Kirk of St Nicholas.
