Scottish National War Memorial Opened

The Scottish National War Memorial is located in Edinburgh Castle and commemorates Scottish service personnel and civilians, and those serving with Scottish regiments, who died in the two world wars and subsequent conflicts. Its chief architect was Robert Lorimer, commissioned in 1919, and the monument was formally opened in 1927.

It is housed in a redeveloped barrack block in Crown Square, at the heart of the castle, and incorporates numerous monuments.
