There will be a friendly invasion of troops in Inverness today with a visit to Falcon Square by the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Soldiers will be on hand between 9am and 4pm to offer an insight into the roles of Scotland’s infantry and the equipment they use in the field.
A Foxhound armoured vehicle which The Black Watch, 3rd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland (3 SCOTS) are currently training with at Fort George will be on display.
A piper and drummer of The Highlanders, 4th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland (4 SCOTS), will provide music.
Colour Sergeant Roddy MacPhee of The Highlanders said: “The soldiers will be happy to talk about all aspects of Army life from the jobs and training we do, to the weapons we fight with and equipment we use.
“No matter what your skill or background, the regiment has something to offer you. It can take you abroad, equip you with new skills, give you invaluable experience and develop strengths you didn’t know you had.”
