An 18-tonne interactive learning space will visit Aberdeen to teach residents about the heritage of the poppy.
Poppyscotland’s Bud, a truck that transforms into a contemporary exhibition, will travel to schools, community spaces and events across Scotland over the next four years.
It has been developed by the charity to allow the public to gain a deeper understanding of remembrance and the poppy’s role in modern Scottish society as a symbol of unity and hope.
The next stop on the tour will be New Pitsligo and St John’s School in Fraserburgh today, followed by St Nicolas Street in Aberdeen tomorrow and Saturday.
It is expected to welcome more than 300 Aberdonians to hear moving stories from veterans and learn more about the work carried out by Poppyscotland.
Chief executive for the charity Mark Bibbey said he hopes the event will help people to “better understand the significance of remembrance”.
