Just a short note to say thank you to everybody who came along to the games night in the TA centre in Livingston. A good night was had by all.
Can I also say a big thank you to Jimmy Laws, Rab Conquer and John Buckham for assisting us with the starting and ongoing smooth running of the games. Well done.

I was prompted by Dode Gaff's previous entry openly showing his thanks to Bill Sutherland for hosting his friends at the Castle.

Over the past 2.5 yrs Bill has shown the same degree of hospitality to a number of Australian Army colleagues visiting Edinburgh whilst touring Europe.

Whilst Bill has absolutely no obligation to host these people, be their 'tour guide', his 'can-do-will-do' attitude and approach coupled with his enthusiasm has not only ensured a long lasting and positive memory of their visit but also earned him much deserved praise. Bill has given them an opportunity and experience they might otherwise have never had - they even come back to Australia knowing a wee bit of 'Royals' history.

Bill:

Having spoken with all those 'Aussies' you have hosted I am aware have already shown their appreciation and also issued invites to come across here - they also regard you as a great Ambassador. I would like to openly thank you personally for the hospitality, humour, time and effort in particular you have shown towards all those that have visited the Castle – stand by for the next lot !!!!!!!

Regards

Bob Wallace & Family

Message for Shep. I think I already let you know that I have a photo of the whole Tattoo cast but you rubbered it because you wanted the tape. Make your mind up. If you want it I'll look it out for you free of charge. Just get in touch mate.

Unveiling of Memorial at Courcelles le Comte on Saturday 23 August 2008 to Hugh McIver VC MM & Bar .

More than 300 attended this ceremony and The 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland should be proud of the representatives they sent to France for the occasion. Approx 70 family members attended and participated in honouring Hugh. Three of Hugh's nieces attended. Unfortunately another 2 of his nieces, because of illness, were unable to attend, Jane Lynn (Farrell) and Ina Duffy (Lochrie) and we wish them well and can say that they were in all our thoughts. It was a weekend of emotion and humility. The village and villagers of Courcelles le Comte (especially Christophe Gueant) should be proud of their organisation of such an event. As Hugh's commanding officer stated in his letter to Hugh's parents, he was the bravest man he had ever met and his family concur.

Everyone was so proud and he will never be forgotten.
