The scheme for the creation of the Scottish National War Memorial on Edinburgh Castle rock is steadily taking shape under the direction of the Duke of Atholl’s Committee and the architect, Sir Robert Lorimer, A.R.A. The design consists of the conversion of the old disused barrack building known as “Billings Buildings” into a "allcry of honour, and the erection of'a shrine abutting the north side of Ibis old building. The great arch nearly 30 feet high, that leads from the gallery into the shrine —It 1 c work of a voung Edinburgh sculptor, Mr Pilkinglon Jackson j S) with ils sculpture and carving, already complete. The shrine is to contain a scries ot seven stained glass windows—each measuring about three feet wide by 10 feet high. In the naval window the subjects are destroyers, a camouflaged transport, the deck of a battleship, and submarines. The Air Force window shows aeroplanes, airships, seaplanes, and kite balloons. It is hoped that, if the present rate of progress is maintained, tiic structural work will he completed in the autumn of 1026. ‘
