Yesterday members of the Battalion traveled to Belgium to bury three soldiers who died during #WW1 . The soldiers were from the 9th Highland Light Infantry, an antecedent of #2SCOTS . Working with the @CWGC , I’m glad we can put these soldiers to rest.

I always enjoy rewarding people who deserve it. Sgt Smith was at the forefront of transforming our MG Pl when we moved to LMI. Deploying on multiple operations and overseas exercises, he has earned his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. #SCOTS #LSGC

A fantastic display of skill, strength and unwavering dedication was on show at our recent Regimental Boxing event. The grit, discipline, and determination of participating soldiers showcased the indomitable spirit in and out of the ring that defines our forces.

LCpls from the Mortar Platoon leaning how to call in fire missions. The best from this cohort will go down to the @LWC_UK to attend the Mortar Fire Controller Bravo course. #mortars #britisharmy @The_SCOTS @The_Black_Rats

Yesterday the Battalions Cricket team took on @PenicuikCC in a seasoning opening T20. Fortunately the Battalion managed to come away with a win! Sport is an important part of the Army and we try and get soldiers away for it wherever possible. #scots #cricket #ARMY @The_SCOTS

Last week the 2 SCOTS Pipes and Drums competed in the Earl of Mar’s and Lord McLeod Piping, Drumming and Bugling competition. A great day for all and a great effort from the soldiers. Great to keep the golden thread going. Congratulations to the winners.
