Scottish Military Community
Moray is proud to host two large and growing military bases with RAF Lossiemouth and Kinloss Barracks calling the region home.
In November 2016 the council was awarded the ERS Silver Award, reflecting the positive stance towards employees who are members of the armed forces community, whether veterans, currently serving, reservists or family members, and our commitment to supporting military personnel and their families.
This year we are proactively seeking to achieve the prestigious ERS Gold Award so watch this space for our progression!
