We had an amazing time yesterday alongside our colleagues from Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), and we were very lucky with the weather too! 
It was wonderful to speak with so many people throughout the day from students studying in Edinburgh and local residents to families from across the city and beyond, as well as visitors all the way from the United States 
We were especially delighted that a couple of people stopped by specifically to find out how to set up a Neighbourhood Watch in their local areas in Edinburgh a fantastic step towards building stronger, safer communities 
There was also great interest in our FREE Neighbourhood Alert system, with several people signing up on the day to receive trusted updates from organisations such as Neighbourhood Watch Scotland, Police Scotland and SFRS 
It was also lovely to meet Dug the West Highland Terrier 
and his owner, as well as the wonderful members of Barclay Viewforth Church who were spreading positivity by offering free hugs — what a brilliant atmosphere!
