Scottish National War Memorial

Austere building to commemorate those in Scotland who participated in WWI. A casket in the shrine contains books of 1921 listing the war dead from the Great War. These listing are also available for visitors to the Memorial to view. The stained glass is magnificent and identifies all types of war activities. Interestingly the work of Scotland's women is well represented. Not just those who were nursing at the front, but nurses at home, factory workers and land girls too. Very moving.

This section of the castle was by far my favourite. With the magnificent memorial you truly feel the power and commemoration of those who lost their lives fighting for what they loved. The added no photography rule makes this place feel so much more special as to not disturb or disrespect those who laid down their lives.

The fact that I admire about this place is their meticulous record of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in WWI (1914-1918).

Scotland's Shrine. This is truly a hallowed place for anyone Scottish - you can almost feel the sacrifice made and I never fail to be moved by a visit here. Words can't really describe how visiting this memorial makes me feel - you have to go and see it for yourself.
