Great Scottish Run
The squadron plays an
important role at the Great Scottish Run each year, assisting the police in
the operation of traffic gates. These gates allow the traffic to continue
flowing as well as ensuring the safety of the runners. This year we also
took on a new location at Eglington Toll so that we could cheer on our new
CO Fg Off Callan who was running in the 10K event for the first time. It was
also made more eventful by a bus breaking down in the middle of the gate!..More
