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.
Edinburgh Castle is perhaps the city's most famous landmark. It stands on top of the remaining core of an extinct volcano. Excavations suggest the site was inhabited by Bronze Age man as early as 900 BC, and was fortified by Iron Age man roughly 2000 years ago. The oldest part of the present day Castle is St Margaret's Chapel, built in the early 12th century. The Castle holds the Honours of Scotland and the Stone of Scone otherwise known as the Stone of Destiny
