Royal Scots Club | Edinburgh's Living Military Memorial

In Edinburgh, Scotland there is a veterans memorial unlike any other I’ve ever seen. Instead of a plaque, or stone memorial, it is living history. It celebrates the veterans of World War I, military memorabelia, camaraderie and families. Plus it sustains history. And get this, you can stay there, learn about their history and help the effort continue.
