Scotland pays heartfelt tribute to Sir Ian Wood, the visionary businessman and philanthropist who died at 84, leaving behind a legacy of enterprise, generosity, and transformative impact.

Jim Glennie, Scotland’s last surviving D-Day veteran, passed away at 100 after a life of extraordinary courage. Landing on Sword Beach at just 18, he was shot twice, captured, and nicknamed “Scottie” in a German field hospital—yet he fought his way back, was liberated by American troops, and returned home to Aberdeenshire. A welder by trade and husband for 60 years, he earned France’s Legion d’Honneur and the British Empire Medal at 100, met King Charles, and received an honorary degree from the University of Aberdeen. A devoted volunteer at the Gordon Highlanders Museum for 30 years, he’s remembered as a living legend—deeply missed by all who knew him. His funeral will be followed by a gathering at the museum, honoring a man who embodied unwavering bravery and service.
