 The 2017 Scottish Poppy Appeal got under way at the Scottish Parliament today, with members taking time out to peddle on the Poppy bike. The theme of this year's appeal is going the extra mile. I think we're all aware that the armed forces are always going the extra mile for us, and Poppy Scotland want to use that as the theme of this year's campaign. We're very proud here in the Scottish Parliament that Poppy Scotland is the only charity that we endorse, and it's very important that us as MSPs, but the public too, do their bit for the servicemen and women who have served this country so well over so many years.
