In Memoriam - A Forgotten Story

Hear how Alice Meredith Williams made a most significant contribution to the Scottish National War Memorial.

About In Memoriam - A Forgotten Story

Sorry, but this event has been and gone!

The Scottish National War Memorial was opened in 1927.

The architect, Robert Lorimer, employed the top artistic talent of the day for its interior decoration and amongst this number, Alice Meredith Williams made a most significant contribution. Her role in this magnificent building is largely forgotten, but today the record will be set straight.

While we take every opportunity to ensure the details for In Memoriam - A Forgotten Story are accurate, we always advise that you contact the event organiser before setting out for the event to avoid disapointment.
