Commemorations have been held across Scotland to mark Armistice Day.
Two-minute silences were observed at 11am up and down the country as people stopped to remember those who have died in conflict.
At Holyrood, all parliamentary business will be suspended as MSPs, staff and visitors are invited to join the Presiding Officer in the garden lobby as she leads the Scottish Parliament’s commemoration.
