The Royal Regiment of Scotland is to exercise its freedom to march through Alloa on Saturday September 30.
Clackmannanshire Council bestowed the Freedom of Clackmannanshire on the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, 5th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland back in 2006.

The honour was bestowed upon the regiment by then Provost Derek Stewart.
Derek will also play a part in the event this time around, as he himself will be presented with the Freedom of Clackmannanshire to mark his illustrious 34-years of service to the county.
Provost Donald Balsillie said: “I am very much looking forward to this special event, with a big highlight for me being the parade by The Royal Regiment of Scotland and other local organisations - a real spectacle to be enjoyed.
“By supporting the event it is also a way we can show our servicemen and women, cadets and veterans, how much we value them and their service.
“I am also very much looking forward to bestowing the Freedom of Clackmannanshire on former provost Derek Stewart to mark his outstanding service to community life and local democracy as part of the day’s celebrations.”
The parade kicks off from Candleriggs at 11am and will travel through the town centre to Alloa Town Hall via Auld Brig Road, King Street, Drysdale Street, Mill Street and Mar Street and Marshill.
