The Royal Scots Club
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.
Hear all about how this club serves it’s members, educates all who go there about the Royal Scots, helps veterans and how you can help support them in this podcast from Erin’s Isle.
