SCOTLANDS FIRST WORLD WAR (HISTORIC SCOTLAND)

This compelling book tells the story of the First World War through Scotland’s people and places. It explores the buildings where, one hundred years ago, men and women enlisted, where they trained, where they stood up for their rights, and where they defended their country against the enemy. It also looks at the places where major industries emerged to supply the war effort, where men recovered from their wounds before returning to the front, and where some of them were finally laid to rest. Illustrated with forgotten and previously unpublished wartime plans, historical imagery and specially-commissioned modern photography, this book is one of the first to focus on Scotland’s built heritage of war as a whole - from coast and air defences to hospitals and prisoner of war camps.
