Scottish War Poet Corner
Now this is going to be a very short post as surprisingly we can't find out a lot about this famous corner of Edinburgh. It was Calum who took us through here on his tour and we thought it was such a lovely tribute to the WWI poets who died in service so we thought we'd tell you about it. The memorial was hand crafted grey granite and is of a Celtic Cross. There's a Celtic Knot carved at the base and the below inscription: Sweet be their sleep now Wherever they're lying Far though they be From the hills of their home It looks as though the memorial was only unveiled in 2018 so we're surprised that there wasn't anything in place sooner, but also in the area is various engravings of poems, so when they refer to it as a corner it is no joke. This is tucked away but is a beautiful place to spend a few minutes in silence. If you're ever in Edinburgh then go and find it!
