Cheerski, comrade! Scottish WWII veterans raise a glass of vodka after being honoured by Russia for seeing off the Nazis in the Arctic.
Dozens of Scottish WWII veterans were honoured by Russia today.
Their convoys delivered four million tonnes of vital supplies to Allied troops.
3,000 were killed on the Arctic missions from Scotland to the Eastern Front.
The war heroes fought off Nazi ambushes while braving freezing conditions.

The brave men today raised a glass of vodka as they were awarded medals.
