Royal Marines To Receive the Freedom of the City of Glasgow - The Royal Marines will be awarded the city’s highest honour - the Freedom of the City - It will mark a wonderful 2014 for Glasgow, the year it hosts the Commonwealth Games, and the year this proud service celebrates its 350th anniversary.      Since its formation, the Royal Marines has enjoyed strong links with Glasgow and continues to have a permanent presence in the city, through the Glasgow Detachment of the Royal Marines Reserve at Govan, which was originally raised in Greenock (Glasgow) in 1948.    Elsewhere in Scotland the Royal Marine Reserves have Detachments in Dundee, Aberdeen and Edinburgh, and of course has 43 Commando RM engaged in Force Protection at HM Naval Base Clyde (and elsewhere) as well as 45 Commando RM based at RM Condor at Arbroath.     Does one get the impression that with the possibility, however remote, of Scottish Independence all the military in Scotland are being recognised one way or another ?
