Whenever I see a poppy I always think of my grandad when I was younger ❤️ I wasn’t quite sure what it meant but I knew it was important and we should all wear one. There’s still time to get a poppy @poppyscotland This gorgeous one is in collaboration from @buckleylondon My grandad would have loved it ❤️ #lestweforget #poppyscotland #poppyappeal2018 #thegirlinthetartanscarf (at Glasgow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp1rDHFB6Bi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gwhc4emrsdk8
Poppy Scotland . . The Earl Haig Fund Scotland, trading as poppyscotland, is a Scottish charity for veterans of the British Armed Forces and their dependants. It was founded in 1923 by Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig as part of the broader British Haig Fund. Its main source of funding is the Scottish Poppy Appeal, organised in conjunction with the Royal British Legion in Scotland, which sells remembrance poppies in early November leading up to Remembrance Sunday. The first Poppy Appeal took place in 1921, and in 1926 Countess Haig established the Poppy Factoryin Edinburgh. The fund merged with The Royal British Legion in 2011 but operates as a distinct charity with the Legion. . . #poppy #prilaga #poppyflower #poppyscotland (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpzSiNyFDXv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j7bw98gbuzn5
