Of the 700,000 Scots who enlisted to fight in the First World War, more than 100,000 were never to return home.

Now a Concert of Remembrance will be held in the Capital to mark the centenary of the end of the devastating war that claimed so many Scottish sons.

Bands of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Scotland and Royal Air Force Central Scotland Pipes and Drums will feature in a stirring night of music reflecting on the four years and three months of conflict that took such a toll.

You will never understand the interwar period and WWII if you don't understand the devastating impact of WWI on Europe.

Well done, Scotland, in recognizing a generation that can no longer speak for itself.
