Staff and volunteers from PoppyScotland have been busy this weekend setting up the Garden of Remembrance in Princes Street Gardens.
The Garden features thousands of poppy crosses and other remembrance symbols with personal dedications from across Scotland. It will remain open until Remembrance Sunday for residents and visitors to pay their own tributes.
The Scottish Poppy Appeal is Scotland’s biggest fundraising appeal, with more than three million poppies already being distributed around the country. All funds raised will go to support Poppyscotland’s work, providing life-changing support and advice to veterans, servicemen and women, and their families.
The garden will be officially opened on Monday in a short ceremony attended by The Rt Hon Lord Provost, Robert Aldridge and Paul McLennan, Minister of Housing. Music will be provided by The Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
