Tour Scotland photograph of a panel from the Scottish American War Memorial in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland. This memorial, " The Call ", was erected in Princes Street Gardens in 1927, gifted by American Scots as a tribute to the bravery of Scottish troops during the 1914-1918 conflict. Behind the main statue is a frieze showing queues of men answering the call by following a kilted pipe band. The memorial was given by Scottish Americans to honour Scots who had served in the first World War. The memorial was designed by R. Tait McKenzie who was a Scottish Canadian working at the time at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, America.
