EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Scots American War Memorial, located in the heart of Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens. Erected in 1927, the memorial pays tribute to the Scottish Americans who answered the call to serve in the British Army during World War I, with over 13,000 Scots-Americans enlisting between 1914 and 1918. At the center of the memorial stands a kilted infantryman, gazing towards Edinburgh Castle Rock. His sporran-clad figure, holding a rifle, serves as a powerful symbol of Scottish heritage and American patriotism. The intricate frieze behind him depicts men in uniform, each one answering the call to march off to war. The inscription at the base of the memorial reads, "To the memory of the Scottish Americans who joined the British Army and other Services during the Great War, 1914-1918." The relief sculpture, with its intricate details and historical significance, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men. The Scots American War Memorial stands as a testament to the deep-rooted connections between Scotland and America, and the shared history of courage and resilience. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, captures the enduring power of the memorial, making it a must-see destination for visitors to Edinburgh and a source of pride for the people of Scotland and the United States.
