A dignified memorial that's very well done!
It was lovely to see all those who lost their lives remembered and recognised with this lovely monument in Princess Park.
It sits looking up at Edinburgh Castle.
The fresco is lovely and of amazing detail, it’s very much worth a visit, there are also seats nearby to rest your legs
This is free to access with your ticket purchase to the castle. The war memorial had dozens of books full of names of those who were involved with the Scottish military/ army. Beautiful memorial pieces. They do ask for no photos or cellphone use within the building (out of respect).
A beautiful space and token of appreciation for those that served and gave their life!
Scottish American Memorial lub Scots American War Memorial znajduje się w West Princes Street Gardens w Edynburgu. Nazywał się „The Call 1914” i został wzniesiony w 1927 roku i przedstawia żołnierza piechoty w kilcie patrzącego w stronę Castle Rock. Za głównym posągiem znajduje się fryz przedstawiający kolejki mężczyzn odpowiadających na wezwanie, podążających za bandą fajkową w kilcie. Pomnik został podarowany przez szkockich Amerykanów na cześć Szkotów, którzy służyli w pierwszej wojnie światowej.
This reminds us the historical relationship between Scotland and United States

(Hongkongers review)
fantastically detailed monument to the Scots and Americans who died during WW1
Truly a dignified place to memorise the Scottish people to protect the country.
Magnifique monument avec des détails plus que parfait. Quel plaisir de voir le sujet avec un kilt
A wonderfull memorial commemorating all those that gave their lives during conflicts around the world from all the Scotish regiments and all branches of the services , one of the highlights of the tour of the castle and also one of the most thought provoking.
Speechless tribute.
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.
它被称为“ The Call 1914”,于1927年竖立,显示出一个步兵朝卡斯尔城堡(Castle Rock)望去。主雕像后面是一条带状装饰的壁饰,上面有成群的人跟随着一条结实的管乐队来接听电话。纪念是苏格兰裔美国人为纪念在第一次世界大战中服役的苏格兰人而设的。石制品由Craigleith砂岩建造而成。设计的最顶端是美国和苏格兰的两个交错的盾牌。据说这座纪念馆在建造时耗资一万英镑。[2]

fr带的底部是埃·麦金托什(E. A. Mackintosh)的诗《信条》(A Creed)中的台词:“如果是等待生命的生命,我将永远被征服,如果死亡,我将最终以我的骄傲和自由而坚强地死去。”麦金托什(Mackintosh)是一位23岁的苏格兰裔前牛津古典大学学生,他于1917年在第二届坎布雷战役中丧生。[3]

R Tait McKenzie死后,他希望将自己的心脏埋在这个纪念馆的下面,大概是因为他认为这是他的最佳作品,或者也可能是因为人们相信它对第一次世界大战纪念馆的一般意义以及特别是直接相关的苏格兰国家战争纪念馆。
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.
As others have said, I thought this was one of the highlights of the castle. It's a shame it can't be reached without buying a ticket to enter the castle complex to be more widely appreciated. However, once there, it's a beautiful and moving sight. It's a great tribute to the huge sacrifice made by the many it commemorates. They deserve so much more but certainly no less. It's good that photography is not allowed inside to preserve the solemnity of the building, even though the interior is quite striking.
The fact that I admire about this place is their meticulous record of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in WWI (1914-1918).
