Last week, the East Scotland URNU commerated the 106th anniversary of the Armistice. For the first time in many years, the unit had a chaplain cadet to lead us for this service, of which he did an excellent job.
Thank you to everyone who turned up and participated.

Over the weekend, URNU East Scotland competed in an inter-unit sports weekend at HMS Caledonia, along with teams from @URNUGlasgow and @URNUBelfast . Although we didn't take the top spot, the fantastic weather and great company made for an unforgettable experience!

40 URNU OCs from Belfast, @VirtualURNU @URNUGlasgow and @EdinburghURNU learned some basic fieldcraft & survival this weekend at Ballykinler. Fighting through some truly awful freezing rain to complete leadership exercises, they also participated in a NEO Ex with @HMS_Hibernia ⚓️

The final day of AT in the Cairngorms consisted of a morning walk through the National Park where OCs worked on their navigation skills. Followed by a high ropes course in the afternoon. And as a bonus, the hotel we were having dinner at were having a ceilidh. Great final night.

Second day of AT in the Cairngorms for URNU ES. Began the day with archery and finished with a zip lining course. 14 zip lines with the final one over 500m with a great view of the beautiful Cairngorm National Park. Thanks to all the staff for taking us through these activities.

First night of AT in the Cairngorms and curling was on the cards for URNU ES. We had a lesson on the basics before moving on to a mini tournament. It was lots of fun and something a bit different.

Great to see URNU East Scotland’s Lt MacIver recognised with this award on Tuesday night. Very well deserved for everything he has given the URNU over the past 20 years. BZs Lt MacIver!

It was a pleasure to be hosted by @EdinburghURNU, where a couple of members of the ship's company hoped to inspire the next generation of sailors. There were some great questions, and plenty of interest in the variety of career paths available in the #RoyalNavy ⚓️ #nextgenfrigate

On Saturday, URNU ES came together to share a Burns Supper. There was some great poetry, speeches and a fantastic meal to celebrate the life and works of Rabbie Burns. The evening’s entertainment finished with some karaoke, thank you to all those involved, we had a great night!

OCs from URNU East Scotland took to the dry slopes in Edinburgh on Saturday night. OCs had a skiing lesson from staff and all had a great time. For some cadets this was in preparation for the RN ski championships in January which URNU ES are looking forward to attending.
