Armistice Day: Scotland falls silent to remember victims of conflict

Armistice Day: Scotland falls silent to remember victims of conflict

Commemorations are being held across Scotland to mark Armistice Day.

Two-minute silences will be observed at 11am up and down the country as people stop to remember those who have died in conflict.

In Edinburgh, veterans and members of the public will gather at the Scott Monument for the reading of Binyon’s lines followed by a silence at the Garden of Remembrance at an event organised by Legion Scotland.

At Holyrood, all parliamentary business will be suspended as MSPs, staff and visitors are invited to join the Presiding Officer in the garden lobby as she leads the Scottish Parliament’s commemoration.

Tricia Marwick will close the event with a reading of a poem followed by Stuart McMillan MSP, parliament piper, piping All The Blue Bonnets Over The Border to commemorate 100 years since the Battle of Loos.

Ms Marwick said: “As part of the commemoration, I have chosen to read Dundee-born Joseph Lee’s poem Tik, Johnnie!, written during the First World War to recognise the contribution of those from across the Empire who fought alongside their British comrades.”

Veterans from Whitefoord House, which is located near the building, will also be in attendance. It provides high quality, supported accommodation in Edinburgh for veterans who are homeless or in need through the Veterans Housing Association.

At the Erskine Home in Bishopton, Renfrewshire, veterans will be joined by families, staff and friends for a memorial service where they will lay wreaths to remember fallen comrades.

Armistice Day is also being marked with the unveiling of a new digital Roll of Honour marking Dundee’s contribution in the First World War.

Great War Dundee hopes to tell the story of the men who left the city to fight in the war and of the loved ones left behind at home.

By the 1918 Armistice, more than 4,000 of Dundee’s young men had lost their lives and each of their names is recorded.
