SCOTLAND'S MEMORIAL.

SUBMARINES ANP AEROPLANES. IN" STAINED GLASS. The scheme for* the creation of the Scottish National War Memorial on Edinburgh Castle rock is steadily taking shape under the direction of Ihe Duke, of At boll's committee and the architect, Sir Robert Lorimer, A.R.A. The design consists of th e comer—sion of. the'old disused barrack building known as "Billings Buildings" into a "gallery of honour, and the erection of a shrine abutting the north sido of this old building. ' The great arch nearly 30 feet high, that leads from the gallery into the shrine—the work of a young Edin-burgh-sculptor, Mr. Pilkington-Jack-son—is, with its sculpture and carving, already complete. The shrine is to contain a series of seven stained glass windows —each measuring about, three feet wide by 16 feet high, 'in the naval window the subjects ar 0 destroyers, a camouflaged transport ,th e deck of a battleship, and submarines. Th e Air Force window shows aeroplanes, airships, seaplanes, and kite balloons. It is hoped that, if the present rale of progress is maintained, the structural work will be completed in the autumn of 10,26-
