Scots had been dying in wars and conflicts for centuries but the Great War was one of the most awful, bitter and destructive conflicts for the Scottish nation. It virtually wiped out a generation of young men.
It has been said that more Scots died per head of population than any of the other parts of the United Kingdom.
