The 1st Battalion of the Highland Light Infantry paraded in George Square, Glasgow, to receive a pipe banner from the City of Glasgow. The Lord Provost, Mr. Andrew Hood, presented the banner to General Urquhart. The banner, costing 300 pounds, is hand-embroidered with the city's coat of arms and the regimental crest. It was attached to the pipes of Pipe Major Robert Rennie. After the ceremony, the battalion marched past as the Lord Provost took the salute, marking a significant day for both the regiment and the city.
