The University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University, Napier University and Queen Margaret University will hold a joint Remembrance Sunday Service on 9th November 2025 in the Playfair Library Hall, Old College, South Bridge. The service will begin at 10:00am and is open to all. No registration is required.
The service will be conducted by chaplains to the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University. It will honour the contribution of service members from Britain and the Commonwealth, the role played by emergency services and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism.
Units on parade will be the City of Edinburgh Universities Officers Training Corps, the Royal Naval Reserve and the East of Scotland Universities’ Air Squadron. The Pipes and Drums of the Universities Officers Training Corps will also be in attendance. At the end of the service, those attending will be invited to observe a two-minute silence in the Old College quadrangle. This will be followed by the laying of wreaths at the University’s war memorial.
A collection will be held in aid of the PoppyScotland, which provides support for current and former members of the Armed Forces as well as their families.
