Listing every Scots serviceman and woman killed since 1914, the Scottish National War Memorial is a unique and hugely impressive building, housed within Edinburgh Castle.<\/p>\n
Opened in 1927, the memorial is one of the most impressive physical commemorations built following The Great War.<\/p>\n
Though not a memorial owned by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the aims of the two institutions are very similar – that the names of each person killed from a specific locality during the First World War – should be remembered forever.<\/p>\n
Filmed on the day of the annual service of commemoration at the Memorial, this film explains why the Scottish National War Memorial remains relevant in the 21st century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
