Children helped Perthshire pay tribute to its fallen soldiers as Europe commemorated one of the earliest major battles of the First World War.
The First Battle of Ypres, in October 1914, began a cycle of conflict that eventually saw half a million men killed in the Flanders region of Belgium by the end of the war in 1918.
Both the Germans and Western Allies fought to secure the strategically important Belgian town, which was largely destroyed in the process. Among those who made the ultimate sacrifice on October 29 1914 were 50 men of all ranks from The Black Watch.
It was the largest loss of life suffered by the regiment to that point, though darker days would follow.
At 11am on Wednesday, pupils from Rattray Primary School stepped forward to add small wooden crosses bearing the names of those 50 Scottish soldiers to the memorial wall at Balhousie Castle, home of The Black Watch Museum.
Schools across the region are being involved in the project, which aims to ensure the sacrifice of the men of The Black Watch during the conflict is not forgotten.
Throughout the First World War centenary, a cross will be hung on the memorial wall at Balhousie Castle at 11am for each soldier killed on that day.
