Edinburgh Honors 911 Victims | Edinburgh News

Led by First Minister John Swinney and featuring U.S. Consul General Kathryn Porter and Edinburgh’s Lord Provost, the service blended faith, history, and grief. Attendees tied ribbons to a fig tree and sang “The Star-Spangled Banner,” while Reverend Dr. Scott Rennie highlighted enduring Scottish-American ties—from White House stonemasons to personal ties to New York. He called 9/11 a defining moment that forever reshaped the world, making this memorial both poignant and powerful.
