Congratulations to Bailey Lynch (4th Peterhead), Jon Anderson (1st Fraserburgh) and Brody Tocher (1st Fraserburgh) who have successfully completed their Queen’s Badge work!
The three attended the North Scottish Area’s Completion course at Kincraig this week. Well done to all three for the high standard of work they put in to achieve the award.
We will look forward to seeing them received their badges at presentation nights in the very near future!
The #140Baton has been handed over from 4th Peterhead to the 1st Fraserburgh at the top of Kinnaird Head Lighthouse, Fraserburgh!
The King’s Message was read to assembled BB members by Mrs Kate Nicolson of Cairnbulg Castle, Depute Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire!
More to follow!
This afternoon the 1st Strichen handed over the #140Baton to the 4th Peterhead at Aden House, in Mintlaw. The baton will now make its way to the Area’s most eastern point on the mainland – the Blue Toon!
The hand over party was made up of Liam and Kyle, brothers from Strichen who accompanied Company Captain Steve Wilson and Ryle and Nathanial from Peterhead who were accompanied by Lt Leon Lynch. Well done to all as the weather was not kind today.
We will look forward to seeing what the 4th Peterhead have in store.
The first Battalion competition of the season took place today as the Companies battle it out. The 1st Fraserburgh hosted the dodgeball with the following placing:
SENIORS
1st Place = 1st Fraserburgh
2nd Place = 1st Strichen
3rd Place = 1st Rosehearty
COMPANY
1st Place = 1st Strichen

With a month to go until our first ever Queen’s Badge and President’s Badge celebration we are delighted to advise that Iain Hamilton, Aberdeen Battalion, has accepted our invitation to be Chief Guest.
As Training Convener for the North Scottish Area his face will be a familiar one to Queen’s Badge Recipients whilst those who attend the NSA residential courses will get to know him over the next two years.
A reminder that all recipients of the Queen’s and President’s Badges are invited to attend this celebration which should see representation from 1st Fraserburgh, 4th & 5th Fraserburgh, 1st New Pitsligo, 1st Rosehearty, 4th Peterhead and 1st Strichen.
All Officers from across the Battalion are invited to attend but numbers must be forwarded to the Battalion Secretary for catering provisions.
Buchan Battalion was well represented at the Company Management Training hosted at Aberdeen & District Battalion HQ today!
Well done to the 9 Captains and Officers-in-Charge who attended from Buchan representing the 1st New Pitsligo, 4th Peterhead, 1st Fraserburgh, 4th & 5th Fraserburgh and 1st Rosehearty.
Thanks to Iain, David and Martin for running the course. And thanks to Martin for driving the mini-bus through.
Great to meet up with other officers from across the North and further afield, including Phillip from 2nd Turriff!
Well done to Bailey from 4th Peterhead who was recognised for undertaking over 200 hours of voluntary service!

Well done and keep up the good work!
