Scottish National War Memorial, Edinburgh Castle by David McKelvey

<b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Scottish National War Memorial</a></b> occupies a converted barrack block on the north side of Crown Square. It stands on the site of the medieval St. Mary's Church which was rebuilt in 1366, and was converted into an armoury in 1540. It was demolished in 1755, and the masonry reused to build a new North Barrack Block on the site. Proposals for a Scottish National War Memorial were put forward in 1917, during the First World War, and the architect Sir Robert Lorimer was appointed in 1919. Construction began in 1923, and the memorial was formally opened on 14 July 1927 by the Prince of Wales. The exterior is decorated with gargoyles and sculpture, while the interior contains monuments to individual regiments. The stained-glass windows are by Douglas Strachan. <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org</a></b>
