Help shine a light for our Armed Forces community this remembrance season.

The giant poppies are back on the M8! Look out for them on the grass pyramids at Junction 3A Bathgate, marking the 2026 Scottish Poppy Appeal.
Thank you to the Scottish Rugby Union, The Pyramids Business Park and LineMarkUK for making this display possible.
