It is a museum that is the heart of Scottish history and the monument representing four-hundred years of fighting and combat. It is a reminder to all the brave men that sacrificed themselves. It educates the youth of the present day, as it will many future generations, of a proud heritage. There are many individual stories of triumph, courage and bravery told by Scottish foot soldiers and that of the Highland Soldier. It takes the visitor from the time that a soldier signed up to defend his country to the time he retires, if lucky, and has only memories left to share and tears for his fallen friends. The War Museum was founded in 1930 and is located in the Edinburgh Castle, which originates from the eighteenth century and has a history of its own. Throughout the museum visitors will experience life as a soldier, be educated on military strategies, the evolution of weaponry, the advances in soldier uniforms and equipment, and the wars that shaped Scotland and the lives of civilians during times of war. Condition: Very good.
