November 10, 2025

Remembrance Sunday is “ever more important” amid global conflict and the threat to democracy, the First Minister said as he led tributes at a ceremony in Edinburgh.

John Swinney laid a wreath at the Stone of Remembrance outside Edinburgh City Chambers on Sunday alongside Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander, Holyrood Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone, Edinburgh Lord Provost Robert Aldridge, veterans and service personnel.

When the gun fired from Edinburgh Castle at 11am, the nation fell silent for two minutes to remember those who died in conflict.

Reverend Dr Scott M Rennie, minister of St Giles’ Cathedral, then led a short Service of Remembrance.
