They will be joined by other service representatives and individuals who will also pay their respects.
The Lord-Lieutenant said:
“It is important that we always remember the sacrifice made by so many servicemen and women who gave their lives in the service of their country. We should also remember the families of those who have died and pay tribute to those who are still serving and are working together for a more peaceful world.”
Provost McCall, who will also attend a service at Crichton Collegiate Church on 11 November with the Lord-Lieutenant, said: “With Glencorse Barracks in Penicuik within our county, we have a long tradition of supporting our Armed Forces.Remembrance is therefore especially poignant here in Midlothian. We see it as an important opportunity for us all to pause and reflect on the immense sacrifice of those who have given their lives to protect freedom.
“It’s an honour to lay a wreath in tribute to all the servicemen and women in tribute to their bravery . They will never be forgotten”
The Gorebridge ceremony and service are among events across Midlothian during Remembrance weekend.
