Former Scots soldier forced to leave home in Ukraine heading back with Army gear to help troops

A Scots Foreign Office worker forced to leave his home in Ukraine with his two-year-old daughter is heading back to the war-torn country with old Army gear to give to civilians taking on Russian forces.

Pitlochry-raised Duncan Spinner is hoping the vehicles that take the equipment over will be used to transport some of his colleagues and their families out of the region to safety.

A former Major in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, Duncan, 51, put a call out to veterans asking them to donate old kit including helmets, boots and body armour.
