Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson's strategic approach secured the triumph, though at the ultimate cost of his own life as he was struck down on the quarterdeck of HMS Victory.Each year, the Royal Navy honours that victory and mourns that loss through the great tradition of the Trafalgar Night Dinner - a formal Mess Dinner steeped in naval custom and ceremony, raising a glass to those who fought and fell on that October morning.This year, The Royal Scots Club is proud to host an evening in that same proud tradition.Dress Code: Black Tie | The Royal Scots Club, Edinburgh Thursday 23rd October**Please inform us of any dietary requirements by **completing this form here.About the speakerWe will be joined by Brigadier Ian Gardiner RM as our guest of honour for the evening.Ian Gardiner fought in the Dhofar War in Oman from 1973 to 1975 where he was decorated with the Omani Distinguished Service Medal for Gallantry.
