Edinburgh’s iconic Christmas Tree on the Mound has been lit in a special ceremony led by Lord Provost Robert Aldridge.

Gifted by Vestland, the tree stands as a symbol of Norway’s gratitude for Scotland’s assistance during the Second World War.

Today saw the annual Royal British Legion Scotland Opening Ceremony of the Edinburgh Garden and Field of Remembrance.

The beautiful memorial is a well-loved and poignant addition to Edinburgh’s city centre for anyone wishing to stop by, pause, reflect, remember and give thanks.
