Old travel Blog photograph of female Munition workers and Scottish Command Staff in Edinburgh, Scotland. Great Britain was divided into military districts on the outbreak of war with France in 1793. The Scottish District was commanded by the Commander in Chief, Scotland. In January 1876 a Mobilization Scheme for the forces in Great Britain and Ireland was published, with the Active Army divided into eight army corps based on the District Commands. 8th Corps was to be formed within Scottish Command, based at Edinburgh. This scheme disappeared in 1881, when the districts were retitled District Commands. VI Corps was to be formed in a reconstituted Scottish Command, with Headquarters at Edinburgh. Lieutenant General Sir Charles Tucker was appointed acting General Officer Commanding in Chief of VI Corps in April 1903. Scottish Command was established in 1905 at Edinburgh Castle but moved to Craigiehall in 1955.
