Perth has been selected to host part of a poignant Armistice display which drew huge crowds to the Tower of London.
The award-winning Black Watch Museum will be decked with thousands of poppy sculptures from the iconic Blood Swept Lands installation.
The artwork, featuring 888,246 flowers each commemorating fallen soldiers, attracted millions of visitors when it was unveiled in London as part of events to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.
Perth will be the only place in Scotland to host the Weeping Window and Wave elements of the sculpture, which goes on tour next year.
Balhousie Castle, home of The Black Watch museum, will have 10,000 poppies cascading from a top-floor window and curling round to form an arch. The display will run from June 30 to September 25.
Anne Kinnes, chief executive at Balhousie Castle, said: “We and the people of the city of Perth feel extremely privileged to be the first place in Scotland to be hosting the iconic Weeping Window.
“The sculpture, which has become a national symbol of remembrance, will find a poignant home here at Balhousie Castle.”
She added: “Fifty-thousand men served with The Black Watch during the Great War, with nearly 9,000 making the ultimate sacrifice. The poppies will bring together the people from Perth and across Scotland in remembrance in this beautiful and relevant location.”
Perth and Kinross provost Liz Grant said: “I am delighted that The Black Watch Castle and Museum has been chosen as the only Scottish venue to host the spectacular Weeping Window sculpture in 2016.
“The Black Watch Castle represents an important part of the history of Perth and Kinross, and links to the sacrifice which so many soldiers and their families made to protect our country.
“I look forward to welcoming visitors to Perth next summer as they take the opportunity to view this significant piece of art and reflect on the brave men and women who we honour with pride.”
The UK tour, which will also take in Lincoln and Caernarfon in Wales, was made possible with a £2.5 million of UK Government cash. More venues are expected to be announced later.
Jenny Waldman, director of 14-18 NOW, said: “We are delighted that we can now take the poppies to more places across the UK over the next three years, presenting a wonderful opportunity for even more people to experience these wonderful sculptures.”
