Andrew Thomson: an apology
ALONGSIDE our article yesterday headlined "Boot camps to bring problem teenagers back on track" we carried a picture of teenager Andrew Thomson, 15, of Elgin.
Andrew is one of a number of young people who was taking part in Operation Youth Advantage at Cameron Barracks, in Inverness.
Our story suggested that all of the teenagers who are on the course are there as part of a scheme to reduce youth offending and had bad starts in life.
We would like to make clear that some of those enrolled in the programme have attended solely because they are interested in learning about army life.
Andrew enrolled in Operation Youth Advantage through his school because he is interested in a possible military career and not because he is a problem teenager.
The Scotsman apologises for any offence caused to Andrew and his family.
