Each year buildings and landmarks across the country show their support for the Scottish Poppy Appeal by lighting up red in the run-up to Remembrance Day.

 

The initiative is to show appreciation to the First World War generation who served, sacrificed and changed our world forever

 

Point and Sandwick Trust chairman Norman Mackenzie said: “It’s very important that we remember those who gave their lives in both World Wars and in conflicts since, and especially this year with the 100th anniversary and in the run-up to the loss of the Iolaire.”
