Scots have been paying their respects to our war dead at Remembrance Day services throughout the country.
First Minister Alex Salmond has been attending the service the Stone of Remembrance at the City Chambers in Edinburgh.
The First Minister said: "Remembrance Sunday is a time for us all to reflect and remember the enormity of sacrifice made by Scottish servicemen and women, past and present.
"It allows people across generations to recognise and pay tribute to the duty and commitment of our service personnel and veterans, and express our gratitude for their selfless work."
The country has a "long and proud" military history, Mr Salmond said.
He added: "On this Remembrance Sunday in particular we acknowledge the continuing bravery of our service men and women, and the sacrifices they continue to make on our behalf."
Edinburgh’s Lord Provost and the president of the Royal British Legion Scotland have also attended the capital’s memorial service, while a service led by the Lord provost is being held at Glasgow's George Square.
Aberdeen's main Remembrance service is at the war memorial at School Hill in the city centre.
Throughout the country events have been held at local communities.
This year greater emphasis has been placed on remembering the military personnel who have died in recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Ninety four British personnel have died in Afghanistan so far this year. Prime Minister Gordon Brown revealed earlier this week that he personally writes to the families of those who have died in Afghanistan.
Members of The Black Watch are also holding their own private service at Fort George near Inverness to remember the five soldiers who died during the seven-month tour of Afghanistan.
