The Scottish National War Memorial is located on the north side of Crown Square in Edinburgh Castle. It was originally created as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the Great War of 1914-18, and now also commemorates those who fell in the Second World War and subsequent conflicts. The building previously served as a barracks, and was converted by the architect Sir Robert Lorimer. It was opened in 1927.
