Colin said 2016 was an extremely busy, but rewarding year, culminating with an overseas exercise to Croatia, and that 2017 will be equally changing, but he is looking forward to taking the younger members of 7 SCOTS under his wing on the specialist weapons cadre to be held in Benbecula later in the year.
