This section of the castle was by far my favourite. With the magnificent memorial you truly feel the power and commemoration of those who lost their lives fighting for what they loved. The added no photography rule makes this place feel so much more special as to not disturb or disrespect those who laid down their lives.

Austere building to commemorate those in Scotland who participated in WWI. A casket in the shrine contains books of 1921 listing the war dead from the Great War. These listing are also available for visitors to the Memorial to view. The stained glass is magnificent and identifies all types of war activities. Interestingly the work of Scotland's women is well represented. Not just those who were nursing at the front, but nurses at home, factory workers and land girls too. Very moving.

An incredibly impressive space to pay your respects, beautifully presented. It's a shame some seem to have ignored the signs saying photography isn't allowed in here, have some respect people, please.

Very moving experience. Was shocked to see how many disrespectful tourists were present.

As others have said, I thought this was one of the highlights of the castle. It's a shame it can't be reached without buying a ticket to enter the castle complex to be more widely appreciated. However, once there, it's a beautiful and moving sight. It's a great tribute to the huge sacrifice made by the many it commemorates. They deserve so much more but certainly no less. It's good that photography is not allowed inside to preserve the solemnity of the building, even though the interior is quite striking.
