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.
