Scottish Poppy Appeal Launches at Edinburgh Garden of Rememberance
Heads of the three Armed Services, the Right Honourable Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Robert Aldridge, and Keith Brown MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Veterans, will join Poppyscotland to launch the 2022 Scottish Poppy Appeal at the opening of the city’s Garden of Remembrance.
The event, organised by Legion Scotland and Poppyscotland, also marks the start of this year’s Scottish Poppy Appeal, which will run until Remembrance Sunday on November 13th.
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.
