A dignified memorial that's very well done!
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).
Truly a dignified place to memorise the Scottish people to protect the country.
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.
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.
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.
