Soldiers from The Black Watch, 3rd Battalion of The Royal Regiment of Scotland - or 3 SCOTS - paraded at Fort George today to receive their medals from their recent tour of Iraq.
The medals were awarded by HRH Prince Charles the Duke of Rothesay, the Royal Colonel. Duke of Rothesay is Charles's title when he's in Scotland, it is a name given to the heir apparent of the British Throne.
The Battalion has been undertaking a Training and Mentoring role in Iraq, on an operation called Operation Shader.
Operation Shader is the operational code name given to the contribution of the United Kingdom in the ongoing military intervention against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
The group were tasked with two key responsibilities: to provide the main security force for the near 4,000 strong coalition camp and to provide training and mentoring for Iraqi Security Forces, preparing them to lead security operations in the defeat of ISIS.

The soldiers deployed on the six-month tour to Al Assad Airbase, west of Baghdad, in early January and all were back by July.
This medals ceremony follows a series of Homecoming parades, with the Battalion parading though towns and cities in the Black Watch traditional recruiting areas of Inverness, Forfar, Dunfermline and Perth.
3SCOTS, with a proud history dating back to 1739, are based in Fort George, Inverness and traditionally recruit from North East Scotland.
They have served in nearly all the major conflicts Britain has participated in since then from North America to Afghanistan.
The infantry have several aliases including Black Watch. The origins of this name are unknown but there are several theories behind it.
One is because the force was known in Gaelic as Am Freiceadan Dubh, translating to 'the dark' or 'black watch'.
This epithet may have come from the uniform plaids of dark tartan with which the companies were provided.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
