Today we once again took part in Remembrance events in Dundee, this joined by other naval personnel from @HMSDuncan and the @RMBandService.
The occasion is always a poignant one and it is a privilege to represent the Royal Naval Reserve each year.
Today, @DundeeCouncil and members of the public were joined by @RoyalNavy personnel from @HMSDuncan @HMSScotia and the @RMBandService Scotland to remember those that gave their lives for a better tomorrow.

🏞️ My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart’s in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
A-chasing the wild-deer and following the roe,
My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go
🏴 A happy Burns Night to Scots and all wherever you may be around the globe.
🐹 We'll be heading out haggis hunting later in preparation for our Burns Supper in two weeks when we host the Deputy Commander of the @RNReserve
⛵️Think yourself the next hornblower? As much of a fan of Nelson as Jack Aubrey? Why not put your knowledge to the test like our midshipmen.
🛳 To kick things off we'll ease you in with some buoyage...
⚓Last Saturday saw our first training weekend of the year and saw us focus on seamanship skills.
🚤General Warfare Ratings spent time refreshing their seamanship skills, both ashore at @HMSDalriada and on HMS Scotia's RHIB based out of Port Edgar on the River Forth.
❄️There was chance for other members of ship's company to face the chilly conditions on the forth as part of familiarisation abroad the RHIB, prior to future RYA PBL 2 training
🌅As the sun sets on 2024, Happy Hogmanay from all at HMS Scotia!
⚓It's been a busy year for all of us at Scotia, and we now look forward to a 2025 which will no doubt be as busy, as we continue to help training and support reservists to support the wider @RNReserve
🎶 Members of the Ship's Company were in best voice (and mostly in tune) last night!
🎅 We were delighted to attend the carol service in aid of the tri-service charities at Edinburgh's @CanongateKirk.
🎄 With choirs from @Fettes_College and @aircadets it was a great evening in aid of @RNRMC, @ArmyBenFund and @RAFBF.
⚓ Scots and Scotland have long been at the heart of the Royal Navy, from the exploits of Admiral Cochrane, nicknamed le Loup des Mers (The Sea Wolf) by Napoleon, to Admiral Duncan's triumph at Camperdown, now regarded as one of the most significant naval battles in history.
